Breast Cancer Continuing Medical Education Program
CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC), along with Medscape™ from WebMD™, developed an online continuing medical education (CME) program called Follow Up of Abnormal Clinical and Imaging Findings of the Breast: Five Self-Study Modules for Primary Care Clinicians designed to educate clinicians on providing appropriate and timely care to women with early signs of breast cancer, and to train physicians on the latest evidence, protocols, and guidelines around detecting breast cancer.

Workplans: A Program Management Tool
This Web-based training course is designed to guide participants through the process of developing a workplan. It is based on Workplans: A Program Management Tool—Education and Training Packet, 2000, created by CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control.

Community Health Worker Programs Materials
The Community Health Worker Programs Materials, A Handbook for Enhancing Community Health Worker Programs: Guidance from the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (Part 1), and Breast and Cervical Cancer Messages for Community Health Worker Programs: A Training Packet (Part 2), were designed for use in a series to complement one another. Part 1 focuses on the development and management of community health worker programs. Part 2 has been developed to expand existing community health worker programs to include breast and cervical cancer screening promotion and is used to train community health workers. Both materials have a comprehensive list of references and resources for further reading.
