*ACTIVE DATE EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2023* Don't miss this CME for Providers! Let’s Talk: Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer Survivorship
The American Cancer Society has developed a new CME-accredited training simulation for primary care providers. The simulation Let’s Talk: Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Cancer Survivorship gives healthcare providers a safe learning environment in which to practice effective communication techniques for discussions with cancer survivors around the sensitive topics of healthy eating, physical activity, and body weight. The training uses evidence-based motivational interviewing techniques to help providers have effective conversations with their patients about healthy lifestyle choices. For more information see the Let's Talk Communication Toolkit and Training links announcement on the Cancer Survivorship Resources page of this website.

National Navigation Roundtable Call to Action Series
Patient Navigation is a proven evidenced-based intervention that contributes to the reduction of cancer healthcare disparities and the improvement of health equity. Patient navigation reduces patient confusion about the complex healthcare system and improves patient satisfaction and experience.
This Call to Action Series focuses on three supplemental articles published in the Cancer journal: A Decade Later: The State of Patient Navigation in Cancer, the Journal Supplement, and Oncology Navigation Standards of Professional Practice. See the series brochure here.
The State of Patient Navigation in Cancer
The National Navigation Roundtable has published a new supplement on the role patient navigation plays in improving patient outcomes.
The special supplement is titled, A Decade Later: The State of Patient Navigation in Cancer, and was published in the Cancer journal in July 2022.
The supplement is a collection of 13 patient navigation articles that will improve cancer care disparities across the cancer continuum by highlighting the critical role of evidence-based navigation.
The supplement is also posted on the @NNRTnews Twitter page and on the NNRT website.
The ACS NNRT National Navigation Roundtable Promising Practices Survey
SURVEY: The National Navigation Roundtable's Evidenced Based Promising Practices Task Group needs your help in disseminating a survey to your coalition's patient navigation partners. The Commission on Cancer recently approved a new quality metric for head and neck cancer: time to initiation of postoperative radiation therapy. This NNRT survey -- which will take only 8-10 minutes to complete -- is gathering information on the current landscape of PN work with head and neck cancers, as well as barriers and facilitators to enhancing navigation through postoperative radiation therapy for patients with head and neck cancer. Spread the word about this foundational survey!
