Cancer Program Specialist

Cancer Registry Student
Aurora BayCare
Green Bay, Wisconsin
01.2019 - 05.2019
- I was able to work on a capstone project for my graduating semester at Aurora BayCare.
- I was trained in EPIC, assisted the registrars with daily duties within the registry, including abstracting, and assisting in cancer committee meetings.
- I attended physician meetings, took notes on what was being discussed, and then learned how to enter the information into a spreadsheet after the meeting.
- My main objective during my time was to put together a project. I was to brainstorm a more efficient way for both the registrars and physicians to complete the review of the Cancer Registry documents.
- I transitioned a paper process into a completely electronic process with hopes that this will be used at Aurora for times to come
- While doing this project, I became more comfortable using EPIC, working with physicians, and accessing patient documents.
