Improving Quality of Life and Quality of Care for Oncology Family Caregivers
Announcing a new NCI-funded professional educational course for healthcare professionals to improve support for oncology family caregivers. The purpose of the project is to improve the quality of life and quality of care for oncology family caregivers across the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual domains. Four three-day courses will provide teams of competitively-selected interdisciplinary oncology professionals the opportunity to learn from national experts to improve support for oncology family caregivers in cancer centers around the country. Each two-person team will then apply these skills to achieve excellence in oncology family caregiver support within their own institutions. Application deadlines for courses in 2011 are October 1, 2010 and February 1, 2011.
