Educational Series for Healthcare Professionals: Returning to Work

Returning to Work

Whether returning to a prior job or looking for a new one, there are many challenges faced by patients who find themselves transitioning after taking time off work for cancer treatments. Topics will include: 

  • Easing back into the work routine when returning to an existing place of employment
  • How patients can prevent themselves from being seen as “the cancer person” in the workplace
  • Tips for job-searching during and/or after cancer treatments, including how to write an effective resume and cover letter, networking and interviewing
  • Approaches to help patients feel confident in addressing a gap in work history with a potential employer
  • And more!

This is the final of four sessions in our Educational Series for Healthcare Professionals. To learn more about the other sessions, click here.
