Certified Specialist in Oncology

[Guest guest]

Hello group,

I was wondering if anyone out there has received this certification, and if so,

how they went about documenting hours?

The description of the experience required according to CDR is as follows:

RDs working directly with individuals at risk for, or diagnosed with, any type

of malignancy or pre-malignant condition, in a variety of settings (e.g.

hospitals, clinics, cancer centers, hospices, public health) OR indirectly

through roles in management, education, industry,

research practice linked specifically to oncology nutrition.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

I work in clinical and spend about 1/2 my time on the oncology unit.  I had

Human Resources fill out the form.  I believe you document the hours over the

last 5 years.  I had more than enough.  Good luck.
