2022 LGBTQ+ and Cancer CARE ECHO Invitation
LGBTQ+ and Cancer CARE ECHO
Invitation to Primary Care Teams
The American Cancer Society (ACS) will develop an ECHO series to address the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ population along the cancer continuum, increasing primary care clinics competency in caring for the LGBTQ+ community. This includes risk reduction (tobacco control), prevention and early detection (breast, cervical, colorectal, lung cancer screening, and HPV vaccination for cancer prevention), and post-treatment survivorship care.
The University of Louisville invites interested individuals and teams to commit to the following:
- Building a small multidisciplinary ECHO team. The suggested team may consist of a physician, nurse practitioner, medical assistant, front desk staff, office manager (anyone who has patient facing roles in your clinic is welcome and encouraged to join).
- Have at least one team member join each monthly ECHO (each session is one hour)
- Delivering one case presentation over the course of the ECHO Series (6 months)
