I was selected as a recipient for the MSR Award as part of the ASCO Diversity in Oncology Initiative, funded by the Susan G. Komen for Cure, a program designed to facilitate the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities to the field of clinical oncology.
In this role, I shadowed Dr. Tara Sanft (left), a medical oncologist focused on breast cancer over a period of 4 months to learn about breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance. I was exposed to several subspecialties relevant to breast cancer survivorship, including fertility preservation, sexual health, physical therapy and long-term survivorship.
