CREATE™ - Childhood Cancer Rehabilitation

April 16, 2021 to April 17, 2021

Greater than 80% of children diagnosed with cancer will survive for five or more years.  With cure rates rising, emphasis in pediatric oncology is being placed not only on cure, but also on improving the quality of life of pediatric cancer survivors. Functional impairments and physical activity limitations are among the documented late effects of childhood cancer. These impairments begin early in treatment and can contribute to functional performance limitations long into adulthood. Currently, cancer patients are severely underserved by rehabilitation services with treatment rates as low as 1-2%.3-7  This course will provide comprehensive cancer rehabilitation program training designed to educate the inter-professional team in providing evidence-based rehabilitation services to a complex population in a complex setting. This course will include education on functional impairments of childhood cancer survivors, evidence-based rehabilitation assessment and interventions (physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology), oncology provider screening recommendations, the prospective surveillance model of care across the cancer continuum, and inter-professional program development components.

Target Audience

PTs, OTs, SLPs, RNs, Oncology providers
