Two cancer care professionals, ideally from different disciplines, are trained over two years to implement comprehensive distress screening, evaluate that screening, refer the patient to additional resources if needed and properly document the results.

The participants attend two APOS conferences and learn how to implement live in workshops. Interested cancer care professionals can apply online at http://www.apos-society.org.
