• Describe evidence-based interdisciplinary models of cancer care to improve access to quality psychosocial oncology services for all patients and caregivers. Special attention will be given to programs that integrate research and clinical perspectives from a variety of professional and programmatic perspectives throughout the lifespan.
• Demonstrate how psychosocial oncology professionals can best be included in quality cancer care programs throughout their professional trajectory from student through advanced professional and how professionals can find meaning and sustainability in their careers.
• Integrate clinical case material from diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives to highlight “best practices” for providing integrated cancer care.
