APOS Annual Conference
"I go to a lot of conferences but one thing that keeps me coming back is it feels like a family reunion. Everyone is so passionate about advancing psychosocial oncology. And how often do you see early career professionals being highlighted at a conference during a plenary session? I love that!"
- Motolani Adedipe, PhD, MS

"APOS has been my academic home for over a decade. From the moment I came to my first APOS annual meeting, I felt connected to a community of like-minded people. When I was nominated to run for President, it was a no-brainer. Of course I wanted to support this Society that I love so much! What I didn't expect was how much support I got in return: from the Board and from the members of APOS, all of whom were excited and energized to work together to drive the Society forward. Right now we are in a critically important time for APOS, as we are growing in new ways and need to hear new perspectives and insights. So there has never been a better time to run for the Board, support APOS, and be supported in return!”
