The Cancer Survivorship E-Learning Series is a free continuing education program that provides a forum to educate primary care providers (PCPs) who may have patients who are cancer survivors about how to better understand and care for survivors in the primary care setting. Continuing education credits (CEs) are available at no cost to participants for each 1-hour module.

News from GW Cancer Institute | Opportunity to Participate in Survivorship Care Models Study
The George Washington University is leading a PCORI-funded study on survivorship care models, and we are looking for institutions who want to participate. If you have a survivorship program and are interested in potentially being part of this national study, please complete this survey. It will take 35-40 minutes and will let us know if you are eligible to participate. Eligible sites must have a survivorship care program and be serving breast, colorectal or prostate cancer survivors. Learn more about the study.
Opportunity to Participate in Survivorship Care Plan Study
One of our current research projects focuses on understanding the development and delivery of "homegrown" survivorship care plans (SCPs) that are developed by institutions.You are invited to participate in this study to better understand how organizations design and develop SCP templates for their cancer survivor patients. There are two aims to this study: (1) to conduct a content and thematic analysis to identify commonalities and differences among SCPs currently being provided to cancer survivors and (2) to conduct telephone interviews with health care providers to better understand their SCP development and delivery processes. If you have been involved in developing your organization's SCP template and are interested in assisting us in better understanding the SCP development and delivery process, please send an e-mail to [email protected] by March 21.

caSNP Webinar Archive
This presentation covers the evidence-based benefits of cancer rehabilitation and how it can be inserted effectively into the cancer care continuum, helping survivors to heal optimally before accepting a new normal. The webinar also describes how cancer rehabilitation is covered by health insurers and can help hospitals and cancer centers to develop a sustainable model for survivorship care. You can view this archived webinar and others in our caSNP archive.
