Training Opportunities  Twice a year, MCR is pleased to offer the following courses for the education of new registrars and RHIT students. As each course has a different focus, please click on the links below to view complete details, or call us at 1-800-392-2829 to register or to receive specific information.

• Abstracting Fundamentals This free class is geared toward new abstractors who are not familiar with the abstracting process. We use Abstract Plus to work through cases using the MCR Abstract Code Manual. If you are not familiar with abstracting and the MCR required fields, this is a great place to start. The class is held at the MCR offices in Columbia.
  
  
• Basic Registry Training This is a 2-day course which presents an overview of staging formats, different types of treatment (surgery radiation & chemo), central registry background, ACoS requirements, case finding, follow-up, statistics, etc. This provides a general overview of what a cancer registry is and the audience includes RHIT students as well as new registrars.
  
  

  Cyber Cancer Registry  Now available online, the Cyber Cancer Registry is an interactive virtual registry system provided by NPCR for developing and assessing the skills of cancer registry personnel. This virtual registry provides new cancer registrars an opportunity to gain hands-on practice in core areas of cancer registry operations, giving immediate feedback to users through practical exercises and assessments to evaluate level of competency, track training scores and provide a certificate of completion for each assesement.

  CSv2 Training Session(s) have been removed. Please contact MCR staff for further Collaborative Staging updates.
