“Thank you for doing this. As a nurse, this information is not provided in school and it is difficult to navigate day to day. All nurses need this information and if properly informed could grossly improve patient advocacy and knowledge.” – Intensive Attendee, 2018

This event is free and nurses and social workers can also receive free continuing education. Registration is required at https://triagecancer.org/intensive.
