Join us for a dynamic, multidisciplinary event designed for healthcare professionals across Ontario who are committed to improving the care and long-term outcomes of childhood cancer survivors.
This interactive program will feature expert-led sessions, evidence-based strategies, and practical tools to strengthen survivorship care in clinical practice. In addition to leading clinicians and researchers, the agenda will include perspectives from people with lived experience (PWLE), offering invaluable insights to inform patient-centered approaches.
Together, we will explore best practices, address emerging challenges, and collaborate on innovative solutions to enhance quality of life of survivors of childhood cancer.
If you have any questions, please email education@pogo.ca.

Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the lived post‑treatment experience of childhood cancer survivors and apply therapeutic communication strategies to address psychosocial and mental health needs in follow‑up care.
- Recognize cardiotoxicity risks associated with cancer treatments and apply current evidence and guidelines for cardiovascular disease surveillance in survivorship, including interpreting emerging risk prediction approaches and thresholds for intervention.
- Classify reproductive risk based on treatment exposures and implement longitudinal surveillance and counseling to support ovarian function and long‑term reproductive health.
- Explain core principles of trauma informed care in survivorship and implement practical strategies that promote safety, trust, empowerment, and effective validation in clinical encounters.
- Identify opportunities to integrate community based AfterCare resources into survivorship pathways and optimize referrals to strengthen continuity of care, resilience, and long term supports.
- Identify and manage dermatologic toxicities related to pediatric oncology treatments, counsel on skin cancer risk mitigation and surveillance, and implement prevention and management strategies for cancer related alopecia.
- Describe the clinical value of digital survivorship tools (e.g., Passport for Care aligned with COG guidelines) and utilize them to generate personalized care plans, streamline follow up planning, and reduce administrative burden, considering implications of registry data integration for system level impact.
