Thursday, June 24, 2021
12:00-1:00 p.m. (Central Daylight Time)

Join us for an informative webinar about screening management for individuals at increased risk for colorectal cancer. We will discuss screening guidelines, case studies, and how a personal or family history of colorectal cancer can impact a patient’s screening recommendation. This one-credit-per-hour Group Learning program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Manitoba Chapter for up to 1 MainPro+® credits.

  • Space is limited and healthcare providers are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
  • There is no registration fee for the training.
  • Learners are responsible to cover all parking, food, transportation, and, if applicable, accommodation costs.
