Rehabilitation & Exercise in Cancer Recovery

Training Overview

Rehabilitation & Exercise in Cancer Recovery is a comprehensive, simulation-enhanced training program designed for oncologists, physiatrists, rehabilitation physicians, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, nurses, and allied health professionals involved in cancer survivorship care. This two-day course focuses on evidence-based rehabilitation strategies, exercise prescription, and functional recovery across the cancer care continuum.

The program begins with foundational modules on cancer-related fatigue, sarcopenia, cachexia, cardiopulmonary deconditioning, neuropathy, lymphedema, and musculoskeletal complications associated with cancer treatments. Participants gain an understanding of risk stratification, safety considerations, and functional assessment tools for oncology patients at different disease stages.

Hands-on simulation sessions allow participants to practice individualized exercise prescription, functional testing, and rehabilitation planning using case-based scenarios. Under expert guidance, attendees develop skills in aerobic and resistance training design, mobility restoration, balance training, pain management strategies, and return-to-daily-activity planning.

Through interactive case discussions, scenario-based workshops, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation planning sessions, participants analyze real-world oncology cases to optimize physical recovery, treatment tolerance, quality of life, and long-term survivorship outcomes. Structured feedback enhances clinical reasoning, patient-centered communication, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

By the end of the program, participants will have developed practical competencies to integrate rehabilitation and exercise strategies into comprehensive cancer care, supporting functional independence and improved patient outcomes.
