Course Description
All physiatrists will treat patients with cancer, yet many receive limited training in the specific considerations needed to accurately diagnose and manage impairments in these patients. This course provides physiatrists with practical tools to care for patients with newly diagnosed cancer, long-term survivors, and individuals with advanced disease.
Participants will engage in small-group, case-based breakout sessions organized around four distinct themes: breast cancer, hematologic malignancies, CNS tumors, and gastrointestinal malignancies. Across these themes, cases will highlight common functional, medical, and psychosocial issues encountered across cancer types.
Each breakout session will be led by expert faculty, allowing participants to actively discuss cases, ask questions, and learn from peers and faculty with deep experience in cancer rehabilitation.
All physiatrists—regardless of subspecialty focus—play a critical role in cancer care. This course prepares participants to confidently evaluate risk, optimize function, and deliver safe, effective rehabilitation for patients who need it most.
