Overview

According to the American Cancer Society, there are nearly 16.9 million cancer survivors in the U.S., many of whom face physical, psychological, practical, informational, and spiritual challenges after the completion of cancer treatment. Primary care providers play a critical role in providing much-needed follow-up care for cancer survivors.

The Cancer Survivorship E-Learning Series for Primary Care Providers is a program of the National Cancer Survivorship Resource Center, a collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the George Washington University Cancer Center funded through a 5-year cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Cancer Survivorship E-Learning Series is a free continuing education program that provides a forum to educate primary care providers (PCPs) (e.g., general medicine physicians, geriatricians, gynecologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses) who may have patients who are cancer survivors about how to better understand and care for survivors in the primary care setting. 

Clinicians can learn about caring for survivors of adult-onset cancers through a series of ten enduring online educational modules:

• Module 1: The Current State of Survivorship Care and the Role of Primary Care Providers

• Module 2: Late Effects of Cancer and its Treatments: Managing Comorbidities and Coordinating with Specialty Providers

• Module 3: Late Effects of Cancer and its Treatments: Meeting the Psychosocial Health Care Needs of Survivors

• Module 4: The Importance of Prevention in Cancer Survivorship: Empowering Survivors to Live Well

• Module 5: A Team Approach: Survivorship Care Coordination 

• Module 6: Cancer Recovery and Rehabilitation 

• Module 7: Spotlight on Prostate Cancer Survivorship: Clinical Follow-Up Care Guideline for Primary Care Providers 

• Module 8: Spotlight on Colorectal Cancer Survivorship: Clinical Follow-Up Care Guideline for Primary Care Providers

• Module 9: Spotlight on Breast Cancer Survivorship: Clinical Follow-Up Care Guideline for Primary Care Providers

• Module 10: Spotlight on Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship: Clinical Follow-Up Care Guideline for Primary Care Providers

Course Structure

Self-paced modules can be completed in any order and include:

• One or more on-demand webinar presentations by clinicians and experts

• Interviews with cancer survivors

• Interactive features such as quizzes and patient/survivor case studies

• Access to tools and resources to improve providers’ knowledge and competencies related to post-treatment care of cancer survivors

Participants will need approximately 60 minutes to complete each module. 

Continuing Education Credits 

Continuing education credits (CEs) are available at no cost to physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses and Certified Health Education Specialists. Each module corresponds to 1 credit hour. In order to receive CEs, participants MUST complete at least one module (for 1 credit hour), including all module activities. Participants will be provided instructions to claim credit and print certificates upon module completion.
