Greater than 60% of breast cancer patients experience one or more side effect that can be alleviated with rehab. Patients deserve a practitioner who understands their medical plan of care, potential treatment consequences, and early intervention. Can you be this for them?
This course is the gold standard for learning the fundamentals of comprehensive breast cancer rehabilitation. Get the latest in breast cancer research and practical application for optimal patient care.
Hi, I'm Susannah...
My passion for breast cancer survivorship is both personal and professional. When I was 12 my single mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and I became her primary caregiver. Later, as a physical therapist and women's health resident at Duke University, I was exposed to many people's stories and treatment plans; I was shocked by the 'acceptance' of side effects by medical providers and the short-sightedness of rehab solutions offering little beyond lymphedema treatment...I knew we could offer SO much more!
I began scouring the research for explanations of side effects and treatment ideas, but the research was scant (this was in 2011) and I was moved to create solutions to aid in the positive evolution of cancer care. I wrote and taught the first comprehensive breast oncology course in 2013; since then, there has been a massive onslaught of new research pertaining to breast cancer survivorship and it has certainly kept me on my toes synthesizing all of the new information and updating coursework.
It has been a joy to teach this course globally and meet providers who are just as passionate as I am about elevating breast cancer care & improving survivorship. The work of delivering comprehensive breast cancer care is rare, necessary, rewarding & appreciated. I hope you join us in this mission.
