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.
