State Society Network

Welcome!  

Hello everyone! Welcome to our new State Society Network, a community designed specifically for YOU – members of ASCO's state societies. This community offers you a resource library, discussion forum, a member directory, and more. The purpose of this group is to ease communications between state society members and encourage engagement with ASCO's State Affiliate Council leaders.

 I am Kurt Oettel, MD, MBA, FACP, Chair of the State Affiliate Council (SAC) which serves as an advisory group to ASCO's Board of Directors on issues relating to ASCO's state societies. We at the SAC feel that there is a need for State Societies and its members to feel more connected with ASCO. This is reflected in the large number of ASCO volunteers from communities like yours. We hope that this will be a platform for discussions of relevant issues facing oncologists across the country. 

Please take a moment to respond to this discussion post with the following:

• Your Name: Kurt Oettel, MD, MBA, FACP
• State: Wisconsin
• Practice Setting: Large Multispecialty Group
• What issues are concerning you with your state? Medicaid expansion and re-imbursement, prior authorization, step therapy and PBM's, physician burnout, COVID and vaccination amongst our patients, just to name a few

It is our hope to expand communications amongst all state society members so that we may learn from one another and share best practices across the country. We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for exploring this site !
