This survivorship course is suitable for all regulated health care professionals working with cancer survivors in the hospital or community setting.  An outstanding team of interprofessional educators contributed to the content development addressing general survivorship issues common to all cancer types. 

The course takes a patient-centred approach focusing on best practices and strategies to enable patients in self-management and self-care in the three core areas of survivorship: managing their health care, dealing with the consequences of cancer and its treatment, and adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours. The course includes eight modules and is interactive. Upon completion of the course you will receive 0.5 credits in the domain of Therapeutic and Supportive Relationships.
