On November 11, 2023, I hosted the first EVER Cancer Rehab Community Conference.  It’s still sinking in that I put together a whole conference with 11 mind-blowing speakers for over 100 registrants!

After taking a few days to recover & process what happened at #TCRCC2023, it’s time to recap the experience, share our biggest takeaways, & how this movement is already impacting cancer rehab as a whole.

As you know, collaboration is the name of the game in cancer rehab.

While PT, OT, & speech therapy instantly come to mind, there’s actually quite a few more disciplines we’re not including in this collaboration.  

Including oncology acupuncture ⬇️

Oncology acupuncture has been around for a while, & many of your patients already use acupuncture to help with various treatment side effects.

So you better get clear on what it does, who it’s for, & how it helps your patients!

Mari Galle is the Director of Integrative Medicine & an oncology acupuncturist at Cancer Rehab & Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas.  In today’s interview, she takes you behind the scenes of what acupuncture is & how it helps oncology patients.  Plus, she gives concrete examples of how cancer rehab & oncology acupuncture work together to better serve our patients.

Rehab is NOT well-integrated into advanced cancer care.  But these patients need rehab EVEN MORE than many patients with early-stage cancer.

November is Hospice & Palliative Care Month, so this is the perfect time to talk about a patient population very near & dear to my heart.

Health care is sick.  

Obviously, we’re no strangers to illness.  But health care as an industry, as a profession, as a vocation is sick.  

& will continue to get worse unless we implement real solutions.

We’ve already seen other industries implement these solutions, & they’re working.  It’s time to make it happen for real in health care.

Joe Sanok is a licensed professional counselor & psychologist, thyroid cancer survivor, & author of Thursday is the New Friday.  In today’s conversation, we really get into just how broken American health care is, but it doesn’t stop there.  We actually get into real strategies you can implement at your own work place to truly start fixing our broken system, to better help our patients.  

You’ll learn:

• Ways to better structure your work week for you, your patient, & *your boss*
• How to use your time most efficiently to get allllll your tasks done
• How automation helps your practice & ways to implement automation in OncoPT 

Tune in ASAP for this practice-changing conversation.

Two years ago, I attended a conference with a brand-new OncoPT, who was really excited for one session in particular. This session began with a speaker *LITERALLY* asking for feedback & ways to improve the section for members.

But when my friend bravely raised her hand & vulnerably shared a challenge she was facing & asked for help, she was met with this response:

"You'll just figure it out."

After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I knew that clinicians deserved better.

That experience was the catalyst for The Cancer Rehab Community Conference.

Fast forward nearly 2 years later, The *first-ever* Cancer Rehab Community Conference is almost here!

In fact, we are just a few short DAYS away from The Cancer Rehab Community Conference, & we are exploding with excitement.

So instead of *me* telling you all about THE INCREDIBLE SPEAKERS & sessions they’ve prepared for you, they're going to tell you themselves.

Listen now, & don’t forget to save your spot at The Cancer Rehab Community Conference!

Every October, the pink wave of breast cancer awareness comes crashing in.  

Yet, this pink wave glosses over the fact that breast cancer kills more than 43,000 women every year.  

Meanwhile, metastatic breast cancer (the breast cancer that kills) receives so little attention, research focus, & funding.  And this changes little, year to year.

Part of why metastatic breast cancer is so underfunded, so poorly understood, & so problematic is the oversexualization of breast cancer.  Breasts are sexy, breast cancer is pink, & nobody likes to think about breasts killing somebody.  

However, here we are, in 2023 with still no cure for metastatic breast cancer in a world where companies & corporations “go pink” every October as a PR campaign.

To take some real steps towards changing this narrative, listen to this episode NOW.

If you’re like me, I thought I was finished with specialization stuff once I got my exam results.

WRONG.

Because that’s actually only the start.

Maintaining your board certification is an ongoing process that demonstrates your commitment to continued learning & growth throughout your OncoPT career.

Now that I’m actually going through my first round of MOSC requirements, I turned to my good friend, Dr. Jen Bernstein, who now serves as the APTA Oncology Specialization Chair. 

Today on the podcast, Jen dives into her own MOSC experience, how she tackled the requirements while balancing a busy work & social life, & what she recommends for clinicians starting their own MOSC process.

No matter if MOSC is just around the corner for you (or several years away), you do NOT want to miss this step-by-step tutorial on how to accomplish your specialty certification & maintenance goals.
