Why study Cancer Registry Management : ?

Cancer registrars are data information specialists who record and capture a complete history, diagnosis, treatment, and health status for every cancer patient in the US. This data provides essential information to researchers, healthcare providers, and public health officials to better monitor and advance cancer treatments, conduct research, and improve cancer prevention and screening programs. The Cancer Registry Management associate degree program prepares you to work as a data management expert who reports cancer statistics for various healthcare agencies. Credentialed Cancer Registrars support cancer program development, ensure compliance with reporting standards, and serve as a resource for cancer information. Program Highlights
Federal regulations require the University of Cincinnati to publicly disclose whether completion of certain programs that lead or may lead to professional licensure or certification would meet a given state’s educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification required for employment in an occupation (regardless of whether the program is on-ground, online, or hybrid). To learn whether a University program meets a given state’s educational requirements, please visit the University of Cincinnati State Authorization webpage. |

Employment of Cancer Registry Managers is projected to grow 11 percent through 2028, much faster than the average for the average. The demand for health services is expected to increase as the population ages. An aging population will need more medical tests, treatments, and procedures. The National Cancer Registrar Association (NCRA) Workforce Study estimated that there were approximately 7,280 registrars in the workforce at that time, with continued growth over the next 15 years. It also noted that additional registrars would be needed to replace those who retire from the field. To succeed as a cancer registrar, you should be well organized, have excellent communication skills, and be detail-oriented. In addition, you will need a strong background in medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology, and be proficient with technology and data analysis. |

Most cancer registrars work in hospitals. Other work settings include central or state cancer registries, accrediting organizations, government agencies, software vendors, pharmaceutical companies, insurance agencies, and staffing firms. Some cancer registrars are self-employed and/or work from home. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that employers require Cancer Registry Technicians to be certified. Prerequisites to sit for the Oncology Data Specialist-Certified (ODS-C) exam have become more rigorous and students who achieve this certificate will be prepared to sit for the exam.
