New graduate program in oncology nursing
Birzeit University’s Faculty of Pharmacy, Nursing and Health Professions now offers registered nurses the opportunity to earn a master’s degree in oncology nursing. This program is unique in Palestine and the Arab region and considered a milestone in the field of nursing, as it goes beyond the traditional design of the local graduate nursing programs. As an interdisciplinary program, it combines different concepts and areas of knowledge. Including core nursing sciences, courses focus on oncology sciences and cover various topics such as types of cancer, diagnosis and treatment modalities, palliative care, and cancer prevention. Furthermore, the program offers the opportunity to conduct relevant research and obtain clinical training.
