Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators Boasts Record Attendance Numbers at Midyear Conference News provided by Share this article Share this article CRANBURY, N.J., May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2021 Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) Midyear Conference hosted a record number of nurse and patient navigators this year. The 30% increase in attendance not only demonstrated an overall hunger for knowledge in the navigation space but also an increase in the professional interest as a whole. Because AONN+ is the only organization dedicated solely to clinical and patient navigation, resources offered are in high demand. The dynamic and progressive climate of the cancer care continuum has demonstrated the need for patient navigation and allowed many individuals to evolve into this role. The Midyear Conference was an opportunity to discuss real-world and current information for nurse and patient navigators. As care paradigms and communication methods are continually changing, not only were the clinical and practical topics imperative, but the virtual networking opportunities were essential to sustain the navigator passion and enhance skills.
