Oncology Division Link & Learn Sessions: Update (July 2024)
By: Erica Lo & Shirin M. Shallwani, Knowledge Translation Committee of the Oncology Division
​
In September 2023, we launched the Oncology Division Link & Learn pilot project as an initiative of the Knowledge Translation Portfolio. The objectives of our Link & Learn sessions are to:
-
Facilitate the application of updated research knowledge into clinical practice among physiotherapists working or interested in oncology; and
-
Build a supportive community of practice for Canadian physiotherapists in oncology.
