FMEC’s "Supporting Young Breast Cancer Survivors (YBCS), Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) Patients, and Their Families" project focuses on strengthening support services and educational resources for patients, survivors, and the caregivers who support them. The next phase of FMEC’s initiative offers a fully developed, turnkey Performance Improvement (PI) project that any primary care team or individual physician may complete to strengthen YBCS/MBC survivorship care. Residency programs that participate also meet ACGME learning‑network requirements while supporting faculty and resident competency development. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has reviewed FMEC’s Survivorship Care Integration PI Project for Family Medicine and deemed it acceptable for up to 20.00 Performance Improvement AAFP Prescribed credit(s).

Supporting Young Breast Cancer Survivors (YBCS), Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) Patients, and their FamiliesThe FMEC’s Supporting Young Breast Cancer Survivors (YBCS), Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) Patients, and their Families project, or YBCS project, is focused on improving support services and educational resources for young Black breast cancer survivors and metastatic breast cancer patients and their families. Background To address this gap, the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) will partner with the FMEC to create a learning collaborative, similar to previous collaboratives we have successfully implemented in the past, focused on YBCS psychosocial support needs. The collaborative will also emphasize cultural competency and humility in caring for Black women survivors and MBC patients and improve PCPs' skills to navigate difficult conversations. In 2025, the FMEC and NACDD will establish an Advisory Committee, recruit participating family medicine residency programs, and develop the curriculum. The learning collaborative will take place in 2025-2026. Based on the results of the collaborative, NACDD, in partnership with FMEC, will develop a lessons-learned and guidance document that will be disseminated to other family medicine residency programs. The YBCS project is supported by the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors through funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Young Breast Cancer Survivors Program. In addition to the FMEC, TOUCH, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance (BBCA) is a primary partner. Get Involved This webinar series was developed by the Family Medicine Education Consortium (FMEC) in partnership with the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD), with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This project is part of the Supporting Young Breast Cancer Survivors, Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients, and their Families which is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under CDC/HHS as part of a financial assistance award totaling $460,000, with 100% funded by CDC/HHS.
