Psychosocial Oncology is a specialty area of cancer care that is concerned with the psychological, emotional, social and spiritual responses of persons affected by cancer. This 13-week web-based continuing education course provides an opportunity for practicing health professionals to explore common psychosocial issues that individuals and families experience when an adult family member is diagnosed with cancer. Primary emphases in the course include understanding the illness experience and assessing distress and coping from a family-centered perspective.
