Why You Should Attend our Founder's Genetic Counseling and Testing Workshop

At last year’s Association of Cancer Executives (ACE) conference, one of our clients told such a compelling story about her cancer risk assessment program that session speaker (John Montville) referred to her talk repeatedly during his session. Since then, we have been invited to share best practices and abstracts at multiple events such as:

• National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCBC)  
• Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC)
• ACE Hot Topic Webinars
• American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) 
• Advisory Board
• Institute for HealthCare Improvement (IHI) 

To kick off this year's conference on January 22nd, CancerIQ CEO and Co-Founder, Feyi Olopade Ayodele, will be presenting in New Orleans on “Improving Access to Genetic Counseling and Testing.”

Based on the success of last year's presentation, the ACE committee invited us to come back for a longer segment in the best practices workshop.
