Education and Training caSNP has a multi-disciplinary, multi-tiered approach to educating entire systems of care to support navigation and survivorship efforts in a policy-savvy context. Trainings will inform practice across disciplines and around the country as participants return to their home institutions. The center is proud to guide the ever-growing population of new lay and clinical health care professionals who are providing navigation and survivorship services within hospitals and clinics throughout the US as well as the executives who sustain these programs.
Current Education and Training Programs:
Executive Training on Navigation and Survivorship: Finding Your Patient Focus
Description:
The Executive Training on Navigation and Survivorship: Finding Your Patient Focus is a two-day executive training program that equips decision-makers and program leaders with the tools needed to launch and sustain navigation and survivorship programs, two cornerstones of patient-centered care. Participants learn strategic planning techniques for developing, implementing, evaluating and sustaining patient navigation and survivorship programs.
The training combines distance-learning and traditional classroom instruction to fully maximize participants' time. Prior to the in-person training, participants engage in an online webinar discussion that will lay the foundation for the two-day skill development training in Washington, D.C. At the conclusion of the training, participants walk away with a business plan for either a survivorship or patient navigation program that will enhance the patient focus of their organization.
Who Should Attend:
Clinicians, administrators, program managers and staff of institutions that provide care to cancer patients and survivors. Those who are looking to or are in the process of establishing navigation and/or survivorship programs.

The second annual Cancer Health Policy Scholars Program was held November 7-9, 2011 in Washington, DC. Over 25 individuals from across the nation participated in the three-day executive training. Distinguished speakers from renowned cancer centers, advocacy groups, think tanks, academia and research engaged scholars on the implication and future of health reform offering an in-depth orientation to key national cancer health policy players, formal and informal policymaking processes and specific policy issues. The program provided participants with the knowledge needed to identify U.S. health policy trends and their implications for cancer prevention and treatment with special emphasis on cancer patient navigation and survivorship.
