Empowering Cancer-Equity Education & Community Outreach
Advancing Cancer Equity
Through Multidisciplinary Education and
AI-Enabled Learning.
Independent Medical Education (IME)
The THIICE CME series delivers evidence-based, non-accredited learning opportunities for oncology professionals focused on cancer equity and access. Through live and on-demand webinars, participants engage with real-world case discussions, biomarker integration, and patient navigation strategies designed to improve care delivery across diverse populations.
Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Roundtable
THIICE convenes leading oncologists, nurse navigators, and patient advocates in focused roundtable discussions that explore the latest advances, practice barriers, and community-based solutions. These expert dialogues generate actionable insights that guide future education modules and strengthen collaboration across institutions and disciplines.
HCP Mentorship
The HCP Mentorship track connects early- and mid-career healthcare providers with experienced mentors in oncology and patient navigation. This program fosters professional growth, enhances cultural competence, and encourages cross-disciplinary learning, equipping clinicians to champion equity-driven practices within their own communities.
Patient Education
THIICE’s patient education initiative empowers individuals and families through bilingual resources, community workshops, and digital toolkits. Designed to enhance understanding, confidence, and shared decision-making, this component helps patients navigate the complexities of cancer care while promoting trust and communication between care teams and communities.
