Register today for the webinar “Breast Cancer Surgery: Meeting Standards and Improving Outcomes through Patient Education,” taking place 1:00 pm CT tomorrow, July 10, to learn how to apply best practices and improve surgical outcomes. 

Patient education and surgical breast cancer experts will review current practices in breast cancer surgical care, including pain management, lymphedema prevention, and wound care. In addition, easy-to-use educational programs and checklists that are aligned with the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) standards will be presented.

The webinar costs $30 to attend and offers CME and CE credit. All registrants will receive the 56-page Your Breast Cancer Surgery booklet (will be mailed to the address on file upon registration).

Space is limited to the first 500 registrants. Others will have the option to register for the online course that will be available within 2 weeks following the live presentation.

Speakers include Nancy Gantt, MD, FACS, ACS First Vice-President-Elect, who will provide an overview of breast cancer surgery patient education; Ronald J. Weigel, MD, PhD, MBA, FACS, Medical Director of ACS Cancer Programs, who will discuss insights from the NAPBC; Leigh Neumayer, MD, MS, MBA, FACS, past-Chair of the ACS Board of Regents, who will cover wound care; and several other experts in breast cancer surgery and recovery.
