Action Steps to Address Inequities in Cancer Care Access, Treatment, and Outcomes in Your Community

Action Steps to Address Inequities in Cancer Care Access, Treatment, and Outcomes in Your Community is organized by CME Outfitters, LLC.

Premiere Date: Monday, August 15, 2022
Credit Expiration Date: Tuesday, August 15, 2023

Description:
People from racial and ethnic minority populations and those from under-resourced communities are more likely than non-Hispanic White people to encounter obstacles to cancer diagnosis and treatment. In particular, social determinants of health (SDoH) may restrict access to therapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). In addition, implicit and explicit biases may impact a patient’s receipt of guideline-recommended care. Strategies to integrate multilevel interventions are needed to provide equitable access to ICI therapy, reduce the risk of adverse events, and optimize patient outcomes.

In this Webcast, expert faculty will discuss the treatment obstacles many patients from underserved communities face, especially for cancer therapies, such as ICIs. They will recommend practices clinicians can implement to help their patients overcome barriers to cancer therapies. Finally, faculty will help clinicians develop strategies to make changes on a personal level and within their practice and suggest ways to break down structural inequities within their community to improve outcomes for their patients.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:
• Develop strategies to reduce health disparities in patients experiencing irAE.
