Moores Cancer Center Speed Mentoring WorkshopThursday, May 9, 2023 | 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. |
Trust in Cancer Care: Advancing Equity and TrustworthinessMay 30, 2024 | 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET |
Although trust in healthcare is essential for optimal cancer care and outcomes, current efforts to measure and improve trust and trustworthiness in healthcare often target patients, rather than improving the healthcare system. In this webinar, two invited experts will present on the constructs of trust and trustworthiness in the context of cancer care. Dr. Andrew Anderson will present key definitions and conceptual frameworks on trust and related constructs and offer guidance on how best to measure these constructs. Dr. Jennifer Richmond will present on how trust affects healthcare use and cancer outcomes and provide recommendations for building trust and institutional trustworthiness to advance health equity.
