Beyond the Mammogram: Implementing Comprehensive Breast Cancer Screening in Health Centers
Join Dr. Susan Vadaparampil, an internationally recognized breast cancer researcher at Moffitt Cancer Center, for a practical session on comprehensive breast cancer screening in health centers. Dr. Vadaparampil is a Senior Member and Professor in Moffitt’s Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior and has served since 2018 as its inaugural Associate Center Director for Community Outreach and Engagement. A former member of the National Cancer Advisory Board and Moffitt’s 2025 Researcher of the Year, she has published more than 360 scientific manuscripts. Her research spans the breast cancer continuum, from prevention and early detection through survivorship, and has informed strategies to increase uptake of evidence-based screening, including breast MRI, among individuals at elevated risk. This session explores approaches to breast cancer screening and risk assessment, including mammography, supplemental breast MRI, and genetic testing. Attendees will review current guidelines, national utilization trends, implementation challenges, and practical strategies for integrating comprehensive breast cancer screening services into health center settings.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the roles of mammography and breast MRI in breast cancer screening.
- Apply current guideline recommendations for risk assessment and screening.
- Identify utilization trends and multilevel barriers and facilitators affecting use of screening and risk assessment.
- Discuss practical approaches to implementing a comprehensive approach to breast cancer early detection in health centers.
