POGO AfterCare Education Day

POGO AfterCare Education Day is going virtual!

POGO is thrilled to announce that AfterCare Education Day will be hosted on Friday, May 14, 2021.

While the primary audience is interdisciplinary AfterCare health professionals who work with survivors, the program is certainly relevant to all who diagnose, treat and monitor children with cancer.

Learning Objectives

2021 AfterCare Education Day will examine selected clinical and psychosocial issues impacting childhood cancer survivors. Attendees will enhance their knowledge of late effects associated with childhood cancer and be exposed to new strategies to manage this unique patient population.

Participants will be able to:

  1. Identify strategies to optimize mental health counselling for childhood cancer survivors.
  2. List the ways in which sexual health can be affected by a history of childhood cancer and examine strategies to mitigate these effects, in order to improve patients’ quality of life.
  3. Describe the objectives and results of the POGO School and Work Transitions Study.
  4. Examine the ethical and clinical challenges of fertility salvage for female childhood cancer survivors and discuss ways to improve options for survivors when fertility preservation is not possible.
  5. Explain changes to cardiac and colorectal screening guidelines for childhood cancer survivors and consider practice change implications.
  6. Acknowledge the lasting emotional, physical and social impacts of survival on childhood cancer survivors, as articulated by those survivors, and consider ways to mitigate these impacts through meaningful practice change.
