Abstract
Providing support for travel to conferences, workshops and other off-site continuing education activities is an expensive component of a professional development program. The authors describe a policy addressing this issue which was implemented within the multidisciplinary environment of a comprehensive cancer centre. The policy is open, easily adapted to changes in overall funding and can be used to reflect the organization's expectations regarding employee performance in service, academic, management and leadership roles.
