Speakers for the June 14 workshop include Dr. Guadalupe Palos, a clinical research manager at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center; Dr. David Kissane, chair and attending psychiatrist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; and Dr. Laurel Northouse, professor of nursing at the University of Michigan and co-director of the sociobehavior program at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.
