Course Description: 
This course will address rehab considerations for patients that have previously undergone or are currently undergoing cancer treatments for neurologic and hematological cancers. We will provide an understanding of the different types of cancers that fall into these two categories and the functional sequela from the cancer and it’s treatment. Neurotoxicity will be highlighted and determine which impairments are amendable to rehabilitation from PT, OT and/or SLP.  Patient cases will be reviewed at various stages of treatment and include inpatient, outpatient and home health therapy interventions.    The asynchronous content to be completed prior to the in person course will discuss foundational oncology information including epidemiology, staging, and cancer treatments.
