The registrar compiles biostatistics then reports incidences of cancer and survival rates to the CDC, epidemiologists and research entities. Oncology reporting sources medical records and documents, diagnostics, clinical screening and treatment protocols; follow up and patient interviews. Related databases track demographics, disease-specific biomarkers, contagious and transmitted diseases for federal, state and local agencies. Registrars abstract, collect and analyze clinical outcomes; manage data systems; and may monitor cancer prevention programs; and evaluate compliance to accreditation standards.

Program entry requirements:

Keyboarding speed at 45 wpm, placement in ENGL 101  and MATH 110 on the college placement test or successful completion of ENGL 099  and MATH 021.  Eligibility benchmarks satisfy minimum expectations for success on pre-employment screenings.
