Description

While courses across the spectrum of therapeutic care, including acute care and rehabilitation are common, it is often challenging to find a course with a specific focus on therapeutic intervention in oncology. This course enables clinicians to successfully evaluate and treat clients in oncology rehabilitation throughout the continuum of care.  

Therapists will benefit from building their oncology rehabilitation expertise through current evidence, comprehensive intervention methods, case study and specific guidance for clients with various cancer diagnoses.  A specialized focus on therapy’s role in end of life care will be provided.
