Cancer Registry Management Program

RCTC’s Cancer Registry Management Certificate program is designed for those with an Associate's degree of any field or the equivalent (60 college credits) who are interested in becoming a cancer registrar. If the required prerequisites are completed, the certificate can be obtained in one year. Cancer registrars are data information specialists that capture a complete history, diagnosis, treatment, and health status for every cancer patient in the United States. The data provide essential information to researchers, healthcare providers, and public health officials to better monitor and advance cancer treatments, conduct research, and improve cancer prevention and screening programs. Registrars work closely with physicians, administrators, researchers, and healthcare planners to provide support for cancer program development, ensure compliance of reporting standards, and serve as a valuable resource for cancer information with the ultimate goal of preventing and controlling cancer.
