Conference Committee Update

AOSW Conference
Committee Updates

Hello from 2017 AOSW 33rd Annual Conference planning headquarters! The 2017 Conference Committee is busy finishing the details of our upcoming conference in beautiful Denver, Colorado, and we’re so pleased to announce the following new additions to this year’s conference.

AOSW will offer two new CEU offerings for attendees. Beginning this year, nearly all SIG meetings at the conference will offer CEUs. The 90-minute sessions will include 30 minutes of networking and 60 minutes of presentations for 1.0 CEU. You can attend any SIG meeting of your choosing—you do not have to be a member of the SIG to attend. Find a subject that’s interesting to you and learn more about the subspecialties of oncology social work!

Next, AOSW will host its first-ever Clinical Practice Intensives sessions (CPIs). Comprised of two 90-minute sessions, the CPIs will allow you to get more in-depth, thorough training from content experts. This year’s CPI subjects include: Mindfulness; Motivational Interviewing; Family Therapy in Oncology Care; Psychodynamic Approaches to End-of-Life and Bereavement Care; and Improving Sexual Health: Unique Needs and Clinical Practice with Sexual Minorities. Earn 3.0 CEUs from experts in the field while developing skills you can incorporate into your work.

We look forward to seeing you in Denver!
