Oncology Reports

The Department of Oncology, University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine 2017-2025 Research Strategic Plan — Achieving Impact through Research — reaffirms the Department of Oncology’s longstanding 1 commitment to leadership and excellence in cancer research. It establishes a unifying vision for cancer research within the Department.

The Department’s researchers and key stakeholders came together for a one-day strategic planning retreat in April 2016 to create this research strategic plan. We have a strong collaborative culture with a high-calibre team that is very engaged both on the clinical and research front. We are committed to moving forward as a world-class research Department to drive cancer research that will result in improved outcomes for all cancer patients. Our goal for research is to achieve responsive system behaviours by generating, evaluating, disseminating, and implementing compelling evidence and knowledge that best serves the whole cancer patient. The plan outlines our vision, mission and values.
