Smita Bhatia, M.D., Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, has been invited to become a member of the National Cancer Policy Forum of the National Academy of Sciences Engineering and Medicine.

The National Cancer Policy Forum brings experts together to identify and examine issues in science, clinical medicine, public health and public policy related to cancer research and care. The Forum works collaboratively to address these issues and create activities focused on action. The Forum’s membership includes representatives from a wide range of cancer expertise and interest groups including patient advocates, clinicians, scientists, patients, federal agencies, nonprofits and industries.  

“Being a member of the NCPF will allow me to be at the table with representatives from the government, industry and academia to identify high-priority policy issues related to cancer survivorship research,” said Dr. Bhatia. “This will be a tremendous opportunity to represent our cancer survivors.”

Congratulations Dr. Bhatia!
