Early Career Network Call July 2025-Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The meeting centered on updating participants about the progression of the Early Career Network (ECN) within IGCS, particularly in GYN oncology. The network seeks to create a supportive community for professionals worldwide, aiming to enhance research and publication capabilities, especially in regions facing social and economical challenges like Africa, Asia, and Latin America. By understanding members' needs through surveys, they've identified priorities such as mentorship, networking, and the establishment of databases to aid research and publication. A global survey on cervical cancer staging and treatment highlighted resource disparities since 2018, prompting further research and data comparison. The IGCS annual meeting in Cape Town will showcase this manuscript and facilitate networking via roundtable discussions, encouraging peer connections. In a bid to empower ECN members, IGCS plans to evolve the network into a Young Professionals Network for greater independence and representation.
