Medgar Evers College’s award-winning Nursing Department will bring you inside of three distinct Cancer Awareness stations, including:
Symptom Recognition
Learners interact with lifelike simulation models that demonstrate various cancer symptoms. This interactive experience aids in recognizing typical signs of cancer and knowing when to consult a medical professional.
Supportive Care
Simulation scenarios focused on the psychosocial aspects of cancer care, such as delivering bad news, providing emotional support to patients and their families, and discussing palliative care options, can enhance participants’ empathy and communication skills.
Cancer Prevention Activities
During the interactive session in the simulation center’s studio apartment, participants collaborate to explore lifestyle modifications and risk factor reduction strategies for preventing various types of cancer. This includes discussions on dietary adjustments, physical activity, stress management, and other proactive measures to contribute to overall well-being and reduce the risk of developing cancer.
