An Introduction to the Cancer Registry 

The NCRA Education Foundation developed the Introduction to the Cancer Registry presentations to help increase the number of students entering the cancer registry profession. The 16 presentations are posted below (Updated April 2025). PowerPoint presentation slides with presenter notes are also included within each presenation activity.  All materials provide a glimpse into the roles and responsibilities of a cancer registrar, with the goal of inspiring them to take courses that will lead to a career as a cancer registrar and eventually to earn the ODS credential.

For more information on how to become a cancer registrar and earn the ODS credential visit Paths to the Profession.
