PW54: Enhancing Patient Outcomes: Integrative Approaches in Oncology Treatment
Integrative oncology is an exciting, ever-changing, and increasingly sophisticated specialty to learn and practice. There is a growing need for clinicians that are educated to safely and appropriately care for those diagnosed with cancer. Patients in your practice may already, or at some point in the future, receive an oncology diagnosis. This presentation is designed to provide clinicians, both who already practice integrative oncology and those that do not, with a solid understanding of how to navigate the drugs used in oncology and how to best support their oncology patients going through treatment.
