Building Health Equity and Multidirectional Trust in Cancer Care

A Skills- and Knowledge-Based Webinar Series

Health equity is defined as everyone having a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible, an ethical and human rights principle that motivates us to eliminate health disparities. From building trusting relationships between patients and their healthcare providers, to dismantling racism that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) patients and healthcare providers encounter, to overcoming the perceived lack of trustworthiness of healthcare systems, the barriers to achieving equity are high.

This 3-part, monthly webinar series focuses on building the skills and knowledge base necessary to generate and sustain trust, to reduce or remove these barriers and achieve equitable health outcomes for everyone.

Webinar 1: Precision Medicine
Webinar 2: Breast Cancer & Colorectal Cancer
Webinar 3: Hematologic Malignancies, With a Focus on Multiple Myeloma

Virtual Challenging Case Clinic™:
Discussions Between Community-Based Clinicians and Experts

VCC Home Page Header Image MM

Our Virtual Challenging Case Clinic™ is an interactive webinar series held monthly or bimonthly in select therapeutic disease areas. Similar to a virtual tumor board, each Virtual Challenging Case Clinic™ aims to link community-based clinicians with disease state experts to obtain clinical recommendations and discuss how to address challenging cases. You will engage with experts as they go through particularly challenging cases planned by various faculty – or submit your own challenging case for an open discussion.

"Very good discussion. Brief and straight to the point with good background data. Thanks for this."

ADC Webinar Series:
Harnessing the Power of Antibody-Drug Conjugates for the Treatment of Hematologic and Solid Cancer

Given the approval of multiple antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of patients with hematologic and solid malignancies, as well as the associated volume of emerging data of this class of agents, it is critical that oncologists and hematologists be able to evaluate the benefits of these agents, select appropriate patients for therapy or clinical trials, and prevent and manage adverse events. Our 7-part webinar series evaluates emerging scientific and clinical data, and appropriate use of current and emerging ADCs, by clinicians who treat patients with cancer.
