August NLN MicroConference on Oncology

Empowering the Lymphology Community

The National Lymphedema Network's mission is to empower our community of lymphedema practitioners and patients by providing educational opportunities, networking opportunities, and interventional resources. We aim to inspire clinicians to provide world-class care for people with lymphedema by promoting best practice guidelines and standards of care.

 Please join us for the journey of a patient in the oncology setting, where you will learn some of the possible physical and psychological side effects that can occur with treatment.  Listen to patients who have experienced their own journeys, and how a multi-disciplinary approach can affect their outcomes.  Also discover ways that you, as a clinician, can take care of your mental health and wellbeing with some simple everyday techniques. 

At the end of this microconference, clinicians will be able to communicate within a multi-disciplinary team among the physician, nurse, therapist, health care assistant, and patient as an essential and effective delivery of healthcare, interpret the needs of the patient throughout their oncology journey, and develop a method of self-reflection to continue to improve on positive outcomes for the patient and their support members.

This live conference offers a maximum of 2.75 contact hours.
