CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION
Cancer costs are rising for health care systems. Patients are dealing with the emotional cost of a cancer diagnosis and, for some, the financial toxicity of not being able to afford treatment.

Patients, caregivers and community members are also encouraged to attend.
ELEMENTS OF COMPETENCE
This continuing education activity has been designed to change learner competence and focuses on the American Board of Medical Specialties areas of patient care and procedural skills, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and the interprofessional competency of values/ethics for interprofessional practice.
