Survivor Teaching Students: Saving Women’s Lives
 Since 2004, the Women’s Cancer Awareness Group has been bringing the National Survivors Teaching Students Program to third year medical students under the auspices of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance as a local partner.
Survivors Teaching Students brings ovarian cancer survivors into medical school classrooms to share their stories and key information about the disease. The program is now in more than 75 medical schools across the nation as well as in a number of nurse practitioner, nursing and physician assistant training programs.
If you are an ovarian cancer survivor and would like to participate in the Survivors Teaching Students program, please Contact Us |
