The Commission on Cancer (CoC) is accepting nominations for the annual Cancer Liaison Physician (CLP) Outstanding Performance Award program. To submit a nomination, complete this survey by May 6. The CoC State Chair CLP Education Advisory Group will review the nominations and choose the winners, which will be announced this summer.

CLPs can be nominated by members of an accredited program’s cancer committee, registrars, CoC site reviewers and State Chairs, American Cancer Society regional staff members, and by self-nomination. Cancer care teams from the same institution are encouraged to submit one nomination per CLP if there are multiple nominations. Previous CLP Award winners are not eligible for consideration. For more information on eligibility criteria and the nomination process, visit the CoC website. Email mleeb@facs.org with any questions.
