Join fellow physicians for a free live webinar on Tuesday, May 11, for an overview of screening recommendations, needs, guideline differences, and resources for patients with breast and cervical cancer. Participants will also learn about the mission and eligibility guidelines for the Ohio Department of Health’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Project (BCCP), which is available to assist women in Ohio with accessing and navigating breast and cervical tissue cancer screenings.
The BCCP’s Patient Navigation Program helps guide women through the healthcare system, find providers and community resources, and answer questions about scheduling appointments, using insurance, and more. To make these services available, BCCP partners with approximately 500 medical, clinical, and laboratory providers in Ohio.
To provide an opportunity for Ohio’s family physicians and their practice teams to learn more about breast and cervical cancer, and the BCCP program, the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) is offering three continuing medical education (CME) accredited webinars in May.
