Utilize an approach for clarifying and resolving misunderstandings early on.

Best Practices in Healthcare Communication

Influencing Colleagues

Understand and apply strategies for generating cooperation and buy-in.

Advocacy and Inquiry

Crafting your plan

Decrease cancer rates by over 30% through healthy lifestyle choices
Recognize the rewards and controversies of individual cancer screening tests

Diagnosis: Foster effective approaches at communicating unexpected news

Through preparation and recognizing that emerging emotions are data, learn to offer yourself as a guide, not just a fixer.

Treatment: Understand recent game-changing advances in cancer immunotherapies

Provide the non-oncologist with mechanisms, toxicities and results of new era therapies
Describe how tumors escape control and the results of PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor therapy
Identify specific tumor proteins which can be blocked by molecularly targeted therapies

Survivorship: Meet the needs of those cured of cancer and those with cancer as a chronic condition

Transition back to the primary care team after targeted and immunotherapies
Utilize cancer specific follow-up guidelines and care plans
Support individuals who are adjusting to this new normal

PORTS OF CALL

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida - There is an abundance of things to see and do in the Ft. Lauderdale area: visit the newly redesigned Ft. Lauderdale Beach and cafes, stroll the historic Riverwalk, shop the luxurious stores on Las Olas Boulevard, or adventure to the Everglades for an intriguing air boat excursion.

At Sea - Cruising - Cruising

Labadee, Haiti - Beachside meets mountainside on the shores of Labadee — a Royal Caribbean private destination on Haiti’s northern coast. Here you’ll find pristine sands, coral reefs and jungle-covered hilltops nestling lagoon-like bays. There’s no shortage of places to relax and recharge across five stretches of beach. Or dial up the thrills on an active adventure like a half-mile-long zip line ride over the ocean. And fascinating culture, history and the natural beauty of Haiti’s spectacular coasts wait to be discovered around every corner. Escape to the Western Caribbean for a wilder way to experience paradise.

Falmouth, Jamaica - Step off the ship and step back in time. You might not think so at first glance but little Falmouth was an economic and shipping powerhouse and center for dramatic social change during the English Colonial Period. Founded and named Martha Brae Point in 1769 by local English planter, Thomas Reid, Falmouth became the transshipment hub for the sugar plantations covering the hills of the North Coast of Jamaica. Edward Barrett, a wealthy English planter, strongly influenced the early development of Falmouth. From the wharfs of Falmouth, sugar, molasses, rum and coffee were sent to England while ships carrying African slaves and all the necessities of 18th century colonial life dropped anchor in the bustling port town. You'll return with sun kissed skin, timeless memories as well as interesting historical tidbits to share with friends, like this one: Falmouth received piped water before New York City.

Cozumel, Mexico - With its lively tropical reefs, crystal-clear waters and ancient ruins, Cozumel is ripe for one-of-a-kind adventures. Cruise to Cozumel and head to Chankanaab National Park, where you can snorkel among the colorful reefs and schools of tropical fish that give this island its premier diving status. Or travel back in time on an adventure through the towering Maya ruins of Tulum. When you’re done exploring, unwind with a beachside massage at Playa Mia. From culture savoring to soaking up sunshine, you’ll find a world of adventure waiting for you in Cozumel.
