NCRA's Mentoring Program
NCRA’s Mentoring Program is designed to assist students seeking to earn the Oncology Data Specialist (ODS) credential and current ODS holders planning to advance their careers. NCRA’s Mentoring Committee seeks to match mentors with the most appropriate mentee based on shared backgrounds, interests, and career goals. Students enrolled in the online, self-directed NCRA-AHIMA Cancer Registry Management Certificate Program can request an Independent Advisor (IA) to assist with their practicum activities.

Special Note: NCRA has changed the name of its credential. Oncology Data Specialist (ODS) is the new name for the Certified Tumor Registrar (CTR) credential. Please note that any reference to the Certified Tumor Registrar (CTR) credential should be understood to be the Oncology Data Specialist (ODS) credential.
