2022 Scientific Network Conference
Extending Our Reach: Broadening the Boundaries of Oncosexual Health
November 17-18, 2022
Yale University, New Haven, CT
https://www.cancersexnetwork.org/events/annual-conference/2022-new-haven-ct
This year's conference theme is "Extending Our Reach: Broadening the Boundaries of Oncosexual Health.” Our goal is to shed light on often overlooked aspects of oncosexuality, such as helping women with advanced disease and addressing populations of women who do not get the attention they need with regard to their disease, survivorship, and sexuality. Our invited speakers will highlight broad and sexuality-specific survivorship issues pertaining to global health, women with metastatic disease, and rarer cancers in women. As is our tradition, we will also be welcoming one of our local survivors to offer her perspectives during Thursday evening's dinner.
The conference aims to help close a significant gap in care for female cancer survivors by providing clinicians with the knowledge, tools, and training to address the sexual side effects of cancer treatment. CME credits will be available. The conference is geared towards physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and physical therapists who care for women with a history of cancer. However, anyone with an interest in improving the sexual health care of women with cancer is encouraged to attend.
