Epi Hours

NAACCR Epi “Hour” is an informal network and training session for central registry analysts and other cancer surveillance researchers. These 90 minute on-line sessions are structured into three parts—an initial, small group networking activity, followed by a peer-led training or discussion session, and culminated by RDU updates and other communication. They are intended to increase communication among NAACCR members, provide RDU-tailored training, and promote professional relationships among cancer registry analysts, statisticians, and epidemiologists. The bulk of the session is the training portion, which is recorded and re-released through the NAACCR Training website.

• Epi Hour: Data Quality Assessments
  • Original presentation date: May 19, 2025
  • Presented by Angela Meisner and Recinda Sherman
• Epi Hour: Tribal Epi Centers Panel Discussion (Coming Soon!)
  • Original presentation date: June 16, 2025
  • Presented by Sarah Nash and Kristen Mitchell
