The Highlands Oncology Seminar centers on all moving parts of a highly successful medical practice transforming cancer care in Northwest Arkansas. From the founders of Highlands Oncology Group (HOG) to the architects who designed the building to the doctors and nurses treating cancer patients to the social workers who monitor patient wellness to the finance experts who help patients navigate byzantine insurance regulations, this seminar opens a widow on the impact of HOG on our state and region. Students will walk away with an appreciation of how to create a practice, state-of-the-art cancer treatment, equipment, facilities, and research, and philanthropy, business, public relations, and much more.
