Trained cancer doctors and nurses who have fled conflict or moved countries often spend years unable to practise. A short, competency-based route back to work would add capacity quickly.
Regulatory barriers keep three groups of qualified oncology professionals out of practice: displaced physicians from conflict zones, migrant specialists awaiting equivalence exams, and parents returning after career breaks. A competency-based, supervised fast track (assessment, a period of supervised practice, and conditional registration) could return them to service within months. Several countries introduced emergency versions during COVID-19 and could make them permanent.
