ARC Network: Knowledge Translation
Knowledge Translation is an ACS ARC Network approach that provides educational opportunities and resources for health professionals working in a variety of settings to support high quality care delivery across the cancer continuum.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) Implementation Science Team exists to catalyze evidence into practice with health care ecosystem partners across the cancer continuum to reduce cancer-related suffering and inequities. The American Cancer Society Accelerating to Care Network (ACS ARC Network) is how the Implementation Science team approaches work with partners.
