Community oncology fellowship advancement initiative (COFAI): Specifically customized for oncologists who are new to the community setting with the goal of accelerating quality patient care. COFAI is an exclusive series of educational web conferences that launched in June 2022. Course content is created by community-based oncology practice leaders who have unique medical and practice management perspectives.

Program curriculum focuses on critical business elements such as maximizing drug coverage for patients, efficiently working with payers, effective business decision making as well as personal and career considerations. These skills will help bridge and advance the transition from an academic setting into a community setting and facilitate improved patient care.
