Current education for cancer rehabilitation is not standardized and does not allow our specialty to achieve the standards set forth by the Institute of Medicine and National Comprehensive Cancer Network.  This seminar will focus on implementation of cancer rehabilitation competencies into clinical and educational settings.  The ACRM cancer rehabilitation education task force will take the data gathered from a National Delphi Study and describe how to implement it into educational opportunities for each discipline.    We will also review a practical competency tool that we are developing and describe how it can be used across the disciplines to ensure high-quality care.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify core competencies for cancer rehabilitation as determined by a National Delphi Study
• Describe ways to implement cancer rehabilitation competencies into educational programs and practice
• Be able to utilize a specific tool that was developed to assess cancer rehabilitation competencies
