The CPAT Symposium is an opportunity to network with other advocates, develop advocacy skills, and learn about cancer policy issues — all in support of NCCS’s mission of improving the quality of cancer care for everyone touched by cancer. Goals for Symposium participants are as follows:

• Develop an in-depth understanding of survivorship legislation and visit Capitol Hill to share your story with legislators and advocate for the legislation.
• Learn about topics including cancer rehabilitation, mental health, communication, and National Cancer Institute’s Office of Cancer Survivorship.
• Participate in advocate-led activities with medical students from the CUPID (Cancer in the Under-Privileged Indigent or Disadvantaged) program.
• Network with other advocates and engage with the NCCS team.

There is limited event capacity and registration will close when we reach capacity. This will not be a hybrid event and programming will only be available to those that attend. The $100 registration fee includes most meals and all programming.

We have reached event capacity for the 2023 CPAT Symposium. You may only register if you are a CUPID Program Participant or a Scholarship Recipient.
