Online learning

UICC has been supporting the continuing education of cancer control professionals through online learning since 2014.

For UICC Members only

Through its online learning offer, opened exclusively to UICC members, UICC aims to provide evidence-based knowledge on key multidisciplinary topics related to global cancer control, as well as opportunities to strengthen skills relevant to those working in the civil society and advocacy spaces. 

Always attentive to the needs and feedback of its community, UICC’s online learning offer has evolved over the years and is now embarking on a new phase: the transition to UICC Connect, UICC's new knowledge sharing and community platform.  

Following the general launch of UICC Connect in September 2024, UICC's online learning offer will progressively migrate from the current dedicated eLearning platform to UICC Connect, so to ensure UICC members benefit from seamless access to tailored online courses, as well as community engagement through one platform. Courses will initially be made available to UICC members in self-guided format, to ensure maximum flexibility of access. In time, there will also be opportunities for synchronous, cohort-based learning, taking full advantage of UICC Connect’s interactive functionalities. 

Online courses coming up

To inaugurate the new platform, three courses developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) will be released over the next three months: 

  • The Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer foundational course  – September 2024 

  • The Global Breast Cancer Initiative foundational course – October 2024 

  • The Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative foundational course – November 2024

What do participants say?

“I find the live sessions very valuable because it is a real-time interaction and an opportunity to ask for clarifications for the topics discussed in all the modules. It is a dynamic learning experience that adapts to the needs of the participants. The opportunity to connect with the experts and fellow participants is an added bonus.”
Maria Victoria Arjona, I Can Serve Foundation, Philippines
“This course really broadened my knowledge of how deep supportive care is and how integral it should be in the cancer treatment journey and survivorship support, as well as end of life and dealing with its effect.”
