I have worked in the cancer registry field, and this led me to want to have an impact on public attitudes toward the early detection and prevention of cancer. Being a CPCP volunteer gave me a unique opportunity to be a facilitator for cancer prevention and early detection services in medical practices.
The CPCP training program prepared the volunteers in all aspects of the programs. We learned about and helped implement methods to evaluate current prevention and detection practices and could provide practices with whatever help they needed. In today's cultural environment, we found it necessary to arrange for some bilingual material. I found the available materials—prevention/detection pamphlets, flow sheets, chart identifiers, quit-smoking labels, postcard reminders, and prevention reminder notes—impressive.
Overall, the experience was quite gratifying and I would recommend it to others.
