The live in-person patient lab sessions build on the knowledge that participants have learnt in the PORi CORE Courses and give participants the opportunity to work with oncology patient volunteers to enhance their clinical skills and oncology rehabilitation knowledge.

The PORi Oncology Rehabilitation Lab Conference
PORi's education curriculum has always been strongly rooted in patient-based learning opportunities. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to shift these opportunities to filmed patient treatment sessions as a proxy for a live interaction with oncology patients. As the vaccines have afforded us more protection against COVID-19 and reduced the risk of in-person learning, we are going to offer live in-person lab sessions for people that have completed PORi Core Courses.
Live Oncology Patient Presentations
Running 3hrs each in-person lab session will involve the PORi instructor, an oncology patient volunteer and up to 14 participants. Participants will be given the opportunity to take part in the evaluation and treatment of the patient and be able to practice and apply the clinical skills and knowledge they have learnt on the CORE oncology rehabilitation courses provided by PORi.
For participants who attended the live-virtual or virtual courses, this is a unique opportunity to attend labs session to enhance their knowledge. However, even if you attended an in-person PORi course, you are welcome to attend the labs sessions.
