NLN Clinical Focus Groups
The National Lymphedema Network is excited to introduce the NLN Clinical Focus Groups, designed to provide a collaborative space for professionals to explore specialized topics within lymphology. These meetings offer the opportunity to discuss clinical cases, share treatment strategies, and refine problem-solving skills to deepen expertise.

Each Clinical Focus Group includes a members-only forum, facilitated by the clinicians who lead the live virtual discussion sessions, held at least twice per year. These forums provide a dedicated space for continued engagement, allowing members to extend discussions, share insights, and collaborate beyond scheduled meetings.

I love that Shelly kept it open to discuss any research and evidence related questions or topics. It was a very comfortable environment, especially since some people may feel intimidated about research and evidence for best practice, or we may not have access to the latest and greatest.
– Survey Respondent Comment about the Research Clinical Focus Group

NLN Clinical Focus Groups are open to active NLN Members only.

*Patient Support Group and Healthy Lifestyle is complimentary to Supporter level members, though anyone in the lymphatic community can participate in these groups for $5/meeting.

These meetings are live, and each occurs a minimum of twice a year.
To join, log in and register on the Community Calendar page.

These meetings will not be recorded, nor available for future viewing.
Please contact continuingeducation@lymphnet.org if you have any questions.

We look forward to having lively lymphedema discussions with you!
