The course will also host a unique focus on communication of medical concerns with the older cancer patient (including caregivers and family members), evaluation of decision making capacity as well as how to work with an interpreter with patients who suffer from dementia and have a language barrier. Day 2 of this symposium will consist of communication skills training where participants will learn communication strategies for difficult encounters with older cancer patients and their caregivers. Experiential learning methodology will immerse participants in practicing newly taught skills in a simulated relevant clinical environment.   Visit the CME Course Webpage ›     Instructors: Beatriz Korc-Grodzicki, MD, PhD Christian J.
