There are an estimated 13 million cancer survivors living in the US today, with projected growth to 18 million by 2020. This is having a huge impact on care: most oncology practices are not properly equipped to address their growing survivor populations. Similarly, most primary care practices are not equipped to handle the needs of cancer survivors.

 

In addition to providing the core knowledge healthcare professionals need to care for cancer survivors, CST's courses provide continuing education credits for physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, and mental health professionals. The training will also provide essential tools for developing and sustaining formal survivorship programs.
