Dear Colleagues in Turkey,
This survey (link below) is being sent to medical oncologists worldwide to understand current global medical oncology workload in high-income and low-middle income countries. To our knowledge there is no contemporary data to describe current global workforce demands for medical oncologists. This survey is being distributed to thousands of medical oncologists and clinical oncologists in dozens of countries. We want to learn from you about clinical volumes and other infrastructure supports available in your practice environment as well as the challenges you face in delivering care. We hope that this information will be useful to national societies in advocating for oncology-specific resources within their own health-care system.
