Diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, TNM Staging System, surgical, radiation, chemotherapy will be discussed. Other treatments including: immune, hormone and precision medicine methods will also be examined. Fall.
This course is organized in a journal club format with regular class discussion and designed to develop proficiency in critically evaluating original scientific literature, to develop oral and written communication skills, to broaden knowledge of current Cancer research in Cancer survivorship, and to provide insight into different research strategies. Fall
This course will examine the research on psychological factors associated with the development and/or progression of illness, as well as psychological and social factors in health promotion. Other supportive and alternative care methods will be discussed. Fall.
The Cancer Care Pharmacology course is designed to provide instruction on common cancer treatment modalities and specific medications that are frequently encountered during practice. Cancer Care Providers should be familiar with the current pharmacological recommendations for the most common types of cancer based on current professional practice. The overall goal of this course is to acquaint the student with common medications for cancer treatment and their impact on patient care, activities of daily living (ADLs), and overall quality of life. This course will meet weekly. There are no prerequisites for this course.
This course will allow the student the opportunity to further understand the responses and adaptations of various body systems to exercise and training. Students will be exposed to the primary physiological factors that determine anaerobic and aerobic performance in individuals. This will provide the necessary background information for the remainder of exercise-related courses within the program.
(50 contact hours) Students in this clinic-based course work jointly with the course instructor/mentor to assess, prescribe and conduct exercise interventions to address cancer and related comorbid conditions.
MSCC 512Clinical Exercise Physiology for Cancer Survivors3
Pathophysiological processes, pharmacological interventions, and exercise testing and prescription considerations for those with Cancer and other comorbid chronic medical conditions. Chronic conditions to be addressed include: metabolic, cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. Spring
MSCC 513Exercise Testing and Prescription for the Cancer Survivor3
Principles of exercise testing to assess fitness and develop safe and effective exercise prescription in Cancer survivors. The interpretation of exercise test data, the impacts of an exercise prescription, and strategies to increase exercise adherence will be discussed. Spring
Provides the practical knowledge and skills needed to conduct and interpret exercise tests commonly used in clinical exercise physiology settings. Additionally, students will learn how to modify protocols and use test results to design safe and effective exercise prescriptions for healthy adults and those with a variety of chronic diseases, including cancer.
Students in this clinical-based course work jointly with the course instructor/mentor to assess, prescribe and conduct exercise interventions to address Cancer and related comorbid conditions. Spring
Students in this clinical-based course are supervised but work independently with Cancer survivors to assess, prescribe and conduct exercise interventions to address Cancer and related comorbid conditions. Fall year 2. It may be repeated, but only 1 additional time for credit toward the Masters’ degree. Other times/hours may be used as needed to meet certification requirements for the ACSM RCEP or CET.

In-depth treatment of a topic of current interest related to the field of positive psychology in relation to cancer survivorship. There will be an emphasis on discussion and application of the assigned readings. As we will learn from our readings and discussions, this perspective (positive psychology) attempts to shift the field’s focus away from pathology towards growth.
The course will examine moral dilemmas created or intensified by recent advances in Cancer care and analyze dilemmas to make them more tractable. Focus in this course will examine palliative care, behavior modification, allocation of scarce medical resources, screening and treatment of Cancer, and human experimentation. Spring.
This course discusses and identifies the importance of compassion in health care. Reading sacred texts from the East and West, as well as a diverse set of illness narratives, students will learn about the religious roots of compassion, then apply this knowledge to the practice of caregiving. Fall
MSCC 603Finding, Identifying, and Securing Resources for a Cancer Program1
This course provides the student with the foundational information related to the grant application process and the basics of proposal writing. Exploration of the entire grant writing proposal will be examined and include: researching sources for funding, interpreting requests for proposals, writing proposals and grants, soliciting supporting material, and follow up with potential funders. Students will discuss specialized terminology, explore the bureaucratic and administrative processes underlying the grant and proposal processes, and practice writing situations related to grant writing. Fall
This course investigates the interaction between exercise, immune function, genetics and muscle as endocrine organ and the impact on Cancer prevention, treatment and recurrence. Fall
This course is organized in a journal club format with regular class discussion and designed to develop proficiency in critically evaluating original scientific literature, to develop oral and written communication skills, to broaden knowledge of current Cancer research in Cancer survivorship, and to provide insight into different research strategies. Spring
Illness and disability have the potential of challenging an individual’s sense of identity and their world beliefs. As students encounter these challenges, searching for meaning, oftentimes through narrative, a story that is embedded within a societal context. A recent field of academic study, narrative medicine, seeks to raise the awareness of clinicians to encounter with their patients, rather than encounter their patients. This form of narrative humility encourages clinicians to approach and engage, in addition to treating and diagnosing. In this seminar course, students will encounter the intersection of the arts and health care. The course will explore how encounters with the arts can strengthen our interactions with other people, in all of their complexities. Spring
