The Cancer Screening Landscape webinar series is a 6 webinar series offered in a live webinar format scheduled every other month on the second Wednesday of the month from 12-1pm.  The live opportunity offers the opportunity to ask questions of the Subject Matter Expert (SME) as well as dialogue with colleagues about the cancer and cancer screening landscape.  1 Continuing Education credit will be awarded for each webinar attended.

The desired outcomes of this series are:

• Develop competencies to communicate cancer screening awareness and patient education effectively.
• Describe best practices to determine appropriate testing for individuals that meet guidelines for cancer screening.
• Explain existing and emerging issues, policies, and barriers to optimizing cancer screening.

The Cervical Cancer Screening Landscape webinar is currently in development with the UVA Medical Education team and information should be available soon.
