• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Only about half of men actively engage each year in preventative health by participating in an annual physical. About 60% of men report waiting as long as possible to see a physician, even when faced with obvious symptoms. Not surprisingly, overall cancer mortality rates are approximately 1.5 times higher for men than women, often because of the timeliness of detection. In this unique panel style discussion, we are joined by a men’s health advocate and testicular cancer survivor to discuss ways that health care professionals can help reduce stigma around men’s health issues. Our patient panelist will be joined by others within the healthcare sector who are making impressive strides forward. Together, we will discuss the general recommended screenings for men and propose effective strategies to ‘change the norm’ in the way that men think about preventative health. As with all ‘Beyond the Classroom’ discussions, participants will be able to interact directly with the panelists in real time.
