Are you a nurse who is already involved in mentorship or educational activities in Chemotherapy and Biotherapy, Palliative Care or Psychosocial Care? Or, an expert clinician who would like to learn how and be involved in delivering a de Souza course?
Are you interested in becoming an expert facilitator to build a team that specializes in Chemotherapy and Biotherapy, Palliative Care or Psychosocial Care?
Today, de Souza Institute has announced that it is launchingthe de Souza Expert Facilitator Program.
This Program builds off of the success of the Chemotherapy Facilitator Program to include equally as important areas: palliative care (Education in Palliative and End-of-Life Care-Oncology) and psychosocial care
This Program is designed for interested nurses who are already involved in mentorship or educational activities in these three areas. By participating in the de Souza Expert Facilitator Program, nurses will obtain the latest knowledge, learn new tools and lead change in chemotherapy, palliative care or psychosocial care.
Dates for workshops in the areas include:
|
Chemotherapy and Biotherapy |
Web-conference: November 28, 2012 Registration closes November 14, 2012 |

Interested nurses are encouraged to select and bring 2 or 3 colleagues to help support them build capacity locally. de Souza has found through previous train the trainer workshops that having a local “team” who deliver together can be an asset in successfully implementing a program/ course. de Souza Expert Facilitators will be expected to participate in an annual conference in which they can help to shape the direction of practice involvement in either chemotherapy and biotherapy, palliative care or psychosocial care. These conferences will provide updates on delivery skill and serve to plan for subsequent year offerings.
de Souza Expert Facilitatorswill also earn 1.0 credit and a certificate showcasing their expertise.
