The Moores UCSD Cancer Center employs an interdisciplinary team approach, bringing
together specialists from all aspects of cancer care to ensure that you are treated with
the best possible, well-rounded expertise and care. Your interdisciplinary healthcare
team includes a physician, a nurse case manager, and a social worker, all of whom you
will meet on the first day of treatment.
The nurse case manager works with your physician to coordinate your healthcare,
medication needs, and symptom management. The social worker provides for your
psychological, social, emotional, spiritual and practical needs. Other members will join
this team when necessary. As a component of the UCSD system, the Cancer Center
practices academic medicine, and medical students, residents, and fellows may be part
of your healthcare team.
