Letter From the President
As Cancer Registrars we are filled with many challenges as well as tough decisions. The Oklahoma Cancer Registrars Association’s (OCRA) mission is to be innovative in providing quality information resources for members, individuals and other organizations through strengths of our registry structures and enhance our professional standards to improve patient outcome.
The OCRA offers two educational conferences each year and are hosted by different health facilities throughout the State of Oklahoma. Our educational conferences provide selected topics that include lectures by specialized physicians, national associations, hospital registrars, and motivational speakers, and also provide networking opportunities. Continuing Education (CE) hours are received from the National Cancer Registrar Association for Certified Registrars.
Are you ready to meet this great challenge? You are welcome to learn more about OCRA and our mission by participating in our educational conferences. The OCRA is a group of highly qualified people who know what they teach and are skilled in their respective fields. They are people who not only have the experience, but are examples and mentors for every new registrar that enters this field. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
Working together to make a difference
