The Impact of Culturally Competent Cancer Care
Sharsheret’s The Impact of Culturally Competent Cancer Care is a one hour training webinar about the importance of culturally competent care for cancer patients. Not simply the politically correct thing to do, or something kind during a difficult time, this type of care has a proven impact on survivorship. The training explores the issues through the example of Jewish women facing breast cancer. The training includes topics such as the diversity of the Jewish community, increased hereditary risk for Jewish women, and cultural, religious and spiritual issues that may impact detection, treatment or survivorship. Woven throughout the presentation will be examples of how this information is relevant to many other communities. Participants will also learn about the free resources Sharsheret can provide to all breast and ovarian cancer patients.
- Participants will understand the psychosocial and physical impact of culturally competent care for women facing cancer.
- Participants will identify resources for their work with women facing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
- Participants will understand the diversity of the Jewish community culturally and religiously.
- Participants will understand how culture and religion may impact diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship of cancer.

“It was so helpful to learn about the cultural sensitivities of our Jewish patients and their families. The training will allow us to better understand the impact of a breast cancer or ovarian cancer diagnosis, and improve our overall quality of care to all our patients.”
