NLN Clinical Focus Groups
The National Lymphedema Network’s Clinical Focus Groups provide a collaborative space for professionals to explore specialized topics within lymphology. These live virtual meetings create opportunities to discuss clinical cases, share treatment strategies, and strengthen problem-solving skills while deepening expertise in areas relevant to lymphatic care.
Collaborative Learning and Ongoing Discussion
Each Clinical Focus Group includes a members-only forum facilitated by the clinicians who lead the live discussion sessions, which are held at least twice per year. These forums create space for continued engagement beyond the live meetings, allowing members to extend conversations, share insights, and collaborate with peers throughout the year.
How to Join a Clinical Focus Group
NLN Clinical Focus Groups are open to active NLN Members only. Patient Support Group and Healthy Lifestyle are complimentary to Supporter level members, though anyone in the lymphatic community may participate in those groups for $5 per meeting. These meetings are held live, and each group meets a minimum of twice per year. To join, please log in and register through Member365. If you have questions, please contact continuingeducation@lymphnet.org.
