New Education Series for Primary Care Providers

George Washington Cancer Institute (GWCI) has been a leader in providing resources for Survivorship Education in this country for the greater part of the past decade. In association with the American Cancer Society and through grant support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, GWCI has launched an initiative aimed at filling an important gap in survivorship care - the recruitment and education of primary care providers (PCP) to share in the care of our patients with a history of cancer. In a series of three e-learning modules, experts discuss the role of PCPs, physical effects, and psychosocial effects of cancer and its treatment. Three hours of free continuing education credits are offered. The series can be accessed here. Future modules will tackle health promotion and clinical guidelines in survivorship. Please share this important program with your contacts in the primary care practices in your community.
