The ever increasing population of oncology survivors yield merit to the idea that cancer is not an acute disease, but rather, together with the treatment side effects, is a chronic condition that must be managed. As rehab and allied health professionals, we owe it to our clients to stay on top of current research and trends. Stage four cancer no longer means therapy pulls out and patient goes on hospice, more often than not, that patient will live an active life for years and needs knowledgeable professionals to mitigate physical symptoms from the treatment allowing them to do so. This course will give you the confidence to safely treat your current oncology patients and survivors optimal quality of life.
