Alan Venook Reflects on Mentorship and Legacy in Gastrointestinal Oncology
UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center shared a post on LinkedIn:
” ‘I think my greatest accomplishment has been mentoring. I have had the privilege of working with incredibly talented young people – many of whom just needed the right environment to thrive. If you find the right fit and then get out of their way, they take off. That has been the most fulfilling part of my work. When all is said and done, I may be remembered for sidedness in colorectal cancer – which is fine – but what I am really proud of is the group of people I have worked with and helped develop.’ Nationally renowned gastrointestinal (GI) oncologist Dr. Alan Venook, University of California, San Francisco, reflects on how his leadership roles have shaped his collaborative approach to cancer research and treatment.”
Mary Feng, Professor Of Radiation Oncology At UCSF And Medical Director Of The Clinical Research Network Office, Shared This Post, Adding
“Mentoring is key. Thank you, Alan, for bringing up everyone around you.”
Aparna Parikh, Gastrointestinal Oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Chief Scientist at Reversing Early Recurrence, shared this post too, adding:
