Last week, the Deputy Minister and I went to the Cancer Agency for a visit. We attended their senior leadership team meeting, and chatted with the CEO, Chair and Vice-Chair of the Agency.
We mainly talked about their preventative screening programs. One of their programs in particular has been very successful in the pilot phase and is set to expand. The earlier cancer is detected, the better the outcomes will be for the patient.
I think my favourite part of the internship is going out into the community and listening to health providers and patients. Listening to their concerns as well as what pleases them is invaluable when creating policy.
