Michelle Kirschner: I was honored to present at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Survivorship Conference

Michelle Kirschner, Director of Program Development at The Cancer Survivorship Provider Network, recently posted on LinkedIn:

“I was honored to present at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Survivorship Conference: Survivorship Cognitive Care: From Diagnosis to Treatment. The best part was finally meeting my mentor and friend, Dr. Arash Asher, from Cedar Sinai. Our whole journey started when I read his research article on “Emerging from the Haze” and I emailed him to see if we could license the intervention for the University of Cincinnati Survivorship Program. This was the first time that anyone had asked him to license his intervention and I was honored to facilitate the group sessions at UC with Alique Topalian.
We need to find more ways to more research into clinical practice!

I’m amazed at how little training is available about CRCI and this is a cancer related issue that impacts quality of life of survivors and their care partners along with adding a significant financial burden though return to work challenges. Happy to be part of this important effort to elevate the need to integrate CRCI support into oncology care.”
