ForwardUpdate on Oral Cancer for Health Professionals
Health care providers have limited knowledge about oral cancer. As a result they are often not screening for oral cancer. Outside of dentistry, most providers do not look at the oral cavity for disease, beyond the pharynx. Most providers do not discuss oral cancer signs/symptoms, risk factors and how to mitigate risk with their patients. This module will help with this need.

Physicians, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Dentists and Dental Hygienists
