Education Committee coordinates the IASLC Academy
Education Committee coordinates the IASLC Academy, a professional development opportunity for 15 early career physicians from around the world who are pursuing academic careers in thoracic oncology. Launched at the IASLC 2017 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) in Yokohama, Japan, this innovative program is taught by prominent leaders in the field. The program consists of workshops that are held in conjunction with the WCLC in two successive years. These workshops bookend a mentored learning experience in which each Academy member participates in a project with an IASLC committee.
