Oncology Communications Skills

This CME-accredited series is designed to provide a means of delivering patient-centered care and improve communication with patients facing advanced cancers. This training led by Lillie Shockney, a University Distinguished Service Professor of Breast Cancer at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, emphasizes delivering compassionate, effective conversations during difficult times, helping physicians better engage patients in decision-making and focus on preserving quality of life. By participating, physicians will enhance patient care, reduce personal stress, and feel empowered in guiding patients through end-of-life care.

This training is not only for those treating metastatic breast cancer but can be beneficial for physicians caring for patients with any advanced cancer. Participants will earn CME credit while gaining valuable tools to enhance their professional and emotional interactions with patients.
