Educational Programming
At the Simms/Mann UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology, we believe in empowering everyone touched by cancer — patients, caregivers and community members alike — through education. That’s why we offer new and recurring, interactive webinars throughout the year. We have a selection of free webinars that are open to everyone, as well as some that are designed for UCLA Health oncology patients.
Programs for Everyone
These webinars are free and designed for the broader public. They do not require you to be a UCLA Health patient. Some of our regular topics include:
