SEER is pleased to announce an expansion of the free training and continuing education series in SEER*Educate. Anatomy and Physiology has been released as a new module in General Knowledge.  Within the Introduction and Twelve Systems are 4 to 9 tests, each with 20 questions. This is a self-study course equivalent to a college-level class.  Although no college credit is offered by SEER*Educate, some organizations may accept the SEER*Educate course as fulfilling an anatomy and physiology requirement.  This module can be used alone or it can be used to assess one's progress through classes, textbooks, or lectures.

• Benign and Borderline Brain/CNS
• Breast
• Colon
• Head and Neck
• Kidney
• Lung
• Malignant Brain/CNS
• Melanoma

This new content is available from the Training Menu in the Practical Application section. One of the best ways to learn cancer registry work is by doing cancer registry work. A primary goal of SEER*Educate is to provide access to free practical application exercises to learn how code and apply guidelines associated with various aspects of a registrar's responsibility. We have applied to the National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA) for continuing education credits for this entire series.
