CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Dear Colleagues,

The FSOSW conference planning committee is pleased to announce a call for abstracts presentations and workshops during its 41st annual conference that will be held in St. Petersburg, Florida on September 11-13, 2024. We invite psychosocial oncology practitioners from all disciplines to submit abstracts for the conference entitled:

Harmony in Healing: Comprehensive Approaches to Oncology Social Work

This year's conference will underscore the integration of mind, body, and spirit in cancer care, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach that addresses the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of a cancer experience. Sessions will focus on psychosocial interventions tailored to diverse oncology populations. Additionally, discussions will explore community resources, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovative models of care that prioritize overall well-being. This conference aims to inspire oncology social workers to embrace comprehensive approaches, foster resilience, and promote healing and quality of life for individuals affected by cancer.

At this year’s conference, we will examine comprehensive approaches to cancer care as we come together in St. Petersburg, FL.

To best meet the needs of those renewing or wanting to secure an OSW-C we ask that you please pick the domain from the BOSWC that your presentation will meet using the link below.
