SUMMARY:Spirituality As An Essential Healing Tool in the Cancer Experience - A Training for Chaplains and Rabbis
DESCRIPTION:Chaplains and rabbis in all professional roles are invited to join Sharsheret for a free\, one-hour training on the essential role spirituality plays in healing during and beyond cancer. \nStudies have clearly established that spiritual well-being during a cancer experience leads to better quality of life\, including lower levels of depression and less anxiety and overall distress. Yet not all patients understand the importance of spiritual well-being (whether one is religious or not)\, and many oncology professionals are uncomfortable broaching the topic. This interactive presentation will explore the integration of spiritual support into more familiar interventions. We will begin with an expanded definition of spiritualty and review of the significant impact of spiritual support. Then together we will explore the barriers that prevent spiritual support from the perspective of the patient\, and will examine assessment tools\, and discuss an array of cultural and spiritual beliefs surrounding illness and how those beliefs may impact diagnosis\, treatment\, and survivorship. \nNAJC Board Certified Chaplains may claim one hour of continuing education in Methodology 1\, Attending Education Events. \nRegister here. \nQuestions? Contact Melissa Rosen\, Director of Training and Education.

SUMMARY:Demystifying Clinical Trials: What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Curious about clinical trials? Learn how they move from an idea to research to trials\, how to talk with your doctor about getting involved\, and what to expect if you join one. We’ll separate myths from facts\, explain your rights as a participant\, and help you feel confident discussing trials with your care team. With Dr. Richard Finn\, Professor of Medicine at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in the Department of Medicine\, Division of Hematology/Oncology. \nBonus for our Embrace Community: We invite members of our Embrace community\, those facing metastatic breast or advanced ovarian cancer\, to stay on at the end of the webinar for an intimate breakout session with our speaker and Bonnie Beckoff\, Director of Sharsheret Support Services. \nRegister here. \nQuestions? Contact Melissa Rosen. \nPresented with support from: \n       \n  \n \n\n\n\nDr Richard Finn is a professor of Medicine at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in the Department of Medicine\, Division of Hematology/Oncology. He was an undergraduate at UCLA where he was involved with early laboratory studies investigating the HER2 oncogene and the development of monoclonal antibodies to this target in breast cancer with Dr. Dennis Slamon. He participated in the pre-clinical studies that defined the clinical candidate that eventually humanized and became the FDA approved agent trastuzumab (Herceptin). He went on to medical school at USC then returned to UCLA for his clinical training in Internal Medicine and then Hematology/ Oncology. \nHe currently splits his time between patient care and directing the Translational Research Laboratory in the Division of Hematology/Oncology. His research interests are focused in the development of targeted therapeutics for solid tumors across histologies to support the larger efforts of the department. His personal interests lie in the development of these targeted agents in Hepato-biliary and breast cancers. He has two-half days dedicated to patient care\, one of which is as a leader in the multi-disciplinary hepato-biliary cancer program at UCLA where he is involved with clinical studies aimed at bringing novel therapeutics into the treatment of patients with these malignancies.
