The standard of care for patients with cancer is to discuss their case with peers and peers of associated specialities. Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Surgery, Pathology, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine, etc. Each of them are vital parts of the multi-disciplinary team.
We meet weekly to discuss and finalize the management plan for each patient.
One of the things which changed due to the Covid pandemic was the ability to adapt to video conferencing. Now, nearly all our meetings are hybrid with Face-to-face meeting along with Microsoft Teams or Zoom inputs.
It was an interesting challenge to convince people to use Teams and Zoom, but it has become the default now. The huge advantage being the ability to engage with people from across the city, state or beyond.
Most of us now have Teams or Zoom on our phones, ipads and laptops – working from offices and cars.
Life finds a way.
