Breastcancer: an integrative approach (10 AVIG accreditatiepunten)

Deze e-learning wordt aangeboden in samenwerking met de University of Arizona. De e-learning is al jaren in de VS geaccrediteerd voor 10 CME (Amerikaanse accreditatie) voor alle artsen en is onderdeel van het 2-jarige fellowship Integrative Medicine van Dr. Weil. De kwaliteit is hoogstaand en er wordt gewerkt met verschillende werkvormen (interactieve casuistiek, quizen en video). De geschatte tijdsinvestering is 10 uur. Alle onderdelen zijn in het engels, zo ook de toelichting hieronder:

1 op de 7 vrouwen krijgt borstkanker. De prevalentie van borstkanker bij mannen neemt ook toe. Borstkanker behandeling is complex en vraagt veel. Steeds meer onderzoek laat zien dat effectieve stress-reductie, beweging, slaap, voeding de outcome en de kwaliteit van leven kan verbeteren, tijdens behandeling maar ook daarna.
