A major impediment in planning cancer preventive work or down staging of cancer in the country has been the shortage of appropriately trained human resource in medical, para-medical and technical disciplines. Medical education in the country focuses mainly on diagnosis and treatment protocols and preventive oncology is yet to find its roots in most places. There is a severe shortage of properly trained nurses and health workers in cancer care. Thus CFI endeavors to continuously enhance knowledge-base and develop human resource in cancer prevention by organizing Workshops, Seminars and Symposia on topics of contemporary interests.

CFI also proposes to initiate part-time / regular 1-2 Semester PG Diploma / Certificate courses to provide hands-on training to Medical doctors, Technologists, Health Workers, Nurses, Social Workers and other Health providers and Policy makers in cancer prevention.
