Corine Veenstra

In 2012 I started my career as a Physician Assistant (PA) in radiotherapy.

Working at the Netherlands Cancer Institute is much more than just a job. It is a place where a difference is made in the lives of patients every day, a place where care, innovation and research come together in a way that is truly unique. The hospital is not only a treatment center, but also a research institute. As a PA in radiotherapy, I have direct access to the latest techniques and treatment methods, which enables me to provide patients with the best possible care.

The Netherlands Cancer Institute is a unique working environment due to the close connection between research and clinical practice. The hospital has a strong research component, which means that many of the treatments we apply are based on the very latest scientific findings. As a PA, I have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials and thus contribute to the development of new treatments that can have an impact worldwide.

What makes the Netherlands Cancer Institute truly unique is its culture of dedication and collaboration. Here, everyone works with a common goal: to improve the quality of life of people with cancer. This shared mission creates an environment where everyone supports each other, shares knowledge and continuously strives for improvement. It is inspiring to be part of a team that is so driven and where the patient is always central.
