Targeted Education Sets New Standards for Clinical Outcomes  

NEW YORK, NY, April 2, 2026—Continuing its reputation as the premier educational event for oncology nurses across all roles, the 11th Annual Oncology Nurse Advisor (ONA) Summit, held March 20-21, delivered cutting-edge education designed to improve clinician competency and patient care. The event achieved a record-breaking attendance of over 2,400 healthcare professionals, representing a 41.2% increase from 2025.

The live virtual program, themed “Insight, Innovation, and Impact: Advancing Oncology Nursing Practice,” provided two days of real-world clinical insights and state-of-the-science practice strategies. In association with Oncology Nurse Advisor, the Summit was provided by Haymarket Medical Education (HME) in joint providership with the National Association of Continuing Education (NACE), and in collaboration with Fox Chase Cancer Center, and offered attendees the opportunity to earn up to 12.5 ANCC or AANP contact hours, including 6.0 pharmacology hours. 

Offered a Deep Dive in Timely Oncology Topics

The 2026 program offered practical skills immediately applicable to oncology nursing. Key topics included biomarker and genetic testing for lung, colorectal, and prostate cancer; CAR T-cell therapy in MM and B-NHL; advances in hepatobiliary cancer care; health equity; bispecific antibodies in MM and B-NHL; and the management of polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis. To establish a clear link between education and retention, the Summit utilized multi-variable assessment tools to track deep engagement metrics, ranging from average viewing time, pre- and post-test responses, and more.

"We are thrilled with the record-breaking attendance at this year’s ONA Summit and amazing feedback from our learners,” said Gregg Sherman, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Haymarket's Medical Education Group. “This clearly reflects our proven ability to reach today’s oncology nurses and provide an enriching program that meets their diverse needs."
