*NEW* Oncology Patient Navigator Training: The Fundamentals

This comprehensive, competency-based training is free, aligns with CMS requirements for training and uses evidence-based information to prepare patient navigators to effectively address barriers to care for cancer patients and survivors. Through a collaborative process, the GW Cancer Center developed the first-ever, national consensus-based competencies for oncology patient navigators without a clinical license. The original training was released in 2015 and was updated and re-released in 2025 after extensive content update from a professional review committee and reformatting. We have developed a Patient Navigator Training Guide which is a summary of all the lessons to assist you throughout the training and act as a refresher tool after the training complete.
