Bridging the Bench and Bedside: The Amalgam of Academic Medicine and Its Effect on a Cancer Patient Experience - SPOC

Webinar Description

Hannah E. Woriax, MD, will review several case scenarios and patient archetypes that have had their treatment course changed drastically due to recent landmark research studies. Dr. Woriax will then go through a few scenarios relevant to my current patient population specifically. Based on these patient scenarios, she will then discuss potential research possibilities for the future.

Target Audience

These courses are intended for medical, radiation, and surgical oncologists, hematologists, advanced practice nurses, registered nurses, physician assistants, radiologic technologists, researchers, pharmacists, trainees, allied health personnel, and others who are interested in care for patients and survivors in North Carolina.

Learning Objectives

  • Recall the clinical course of the traditional cancer patient. Specifically, we will discuss the breast cancer patient perspective.
  • Compare the route of evaluation and treatment of breast cancer patients before and after the implementation of recent research findings.
  • Discuss plans for future research goals and the infrastructure and interorganizational teamwork needed to conduct these studies.

Closing the Chasm Between Native Community Priorities in Cancer Prevention and Healthcare Research Priorities - SPOC
Cancer touches all of our lives. For many Native communities, fears of cancer risk from environmental sources beyond their control are common. Some researchers, usually unaware of Native community concerns, can harbor the perspective that Native communities could be fruitful populations for studying the genetic risks of cancer. This webinar will help both sides of this chasm understand the other's point of view, hopefully leading to more effective communications and priority setting.
American Indian Cancer Control and Health Equity - SPOC
Donald Warne, MD, MPH, will describe health disparities and inequities related to American Indian cancer control. We will explore the legal basis for federally-funded health services to American Indians and the complexity of health policy at the federal, state and tribal levels that impact cancer control. We will provide a framework for health equity and a path forward to improve outcomes.
