The new ASCO Membership Directory app is your go-to tool for finding and interacting with other members of the Society. This secure, members-only app can help you expand your professional network.

Downloading the app is simple: go to ASCO.org, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and select “Apps” from the bottom menu. This will take you to the Apps page. Scroll down to the ASCO Membership Directory, and select the correct platform for your device: Apple iOS or Android. This will take you to the app store of your choice. Alternatively, you can search for and download the app directly from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Log in to the app using your ASCO.org credentials, where you can take a tour to learn about the available features. You may exit the tour at any time, but it may be useful to complete the tour if you are using the app for the first time. If at any time you would like a refresher on the app’s functionality, the tour is available by clicking on the “More” menu in the top right corner.

There are two components to the app: Search Directory, where you can find members to add to your network, and myNetwork, where your saved contacts are stored.

In Search Directory, you can perform a basic or advanced search. Basic search allows you to find members by name or organization. Advanced search allows you to specify any of the following: first name, last name, organization, location details, specialty, and board certification or international equivalent. Both basic and advanced searches allow you to sort and filter the results according to your needs. Once you find a member you would like to add to your network, swipe left on their search result to add them.

If you have a patient requesting a referral for a doctor in a different specialty or location, you can use the app to email your patient a referral to another ASCO member.

Once you have established a network, find out which of your colleagues are attending an upcoming meeting so that you can make plans to connect with them. Under myNetwork, select the myNetwork at Meetings tab for a list. The app is most useful when members fill out their profiles completely, including a photo, and keep their profiles updated if any information changes. Visit your ASCO.org profile page to check your information and update it if needed.
