Scaling Up a Novel Precision Oncology Model of Care - PhD Scholarship Applications NOW OPEN

Genomic diagnostics have significantly advanced therapeutic and preventative measures in oncology and cancer genetics. However, despite increased access, the implementation of genomics-based care is hindered by fragmentation and scalability challenges due to insufficient system support. The Precision Care Initiative aims to establish an innovative and scalable Precision Care Clinic (PCC). This clinic is specifically designed to coordinate precision medicine in oncology, streamline decision support for oncologists and geneticists, enhance the quality of care through comprehensive and patient-centered communication, and improve translational capacity by integrating expertise in precision oncology, implementation science, clinical informatics, cancer genetics, health economics, and patient-reported outcomes. The PhD student will be required to conduct a process evaluation project and lead a scale-up dataset development/integration, framework and toolkit design.
