It is a multidisciplinary programme created for those interested in professions in palliative care and psychosocial support for cancer survivors. The course is especially beneficial for people in allied health disciplines, such as social workers, nurses, doctors, and psychologists, who are interested in psycho-oncology.
The goal is to educate students on the psychological components of cancer’s medical trajectory, including its diagnosis, progression, and therapy. When working with chronically ill or terminally ill cancer survivors and their families, a psychologist is needed to have clinical and counseling skills as well as ethical awareness. Through projects and internships, students enrolling in this course can be exposed to the psycho-oncology services that are now offered in India, expanding their career options.
