Survivors Teaching Students® (STS)

Survivors Teaching Students<sup>®</sup> (STS)

Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation Alliance’s (OCRFA) nationwide education program, Survivors Teaching Students,® (STS) brings survivors right into healthcare classrooms to share their personal stories of how they were diagnosed, what happened and where they are now. The goal is to increase the students’ awareness of the symptoms and risk factors for the early detection of ovarian cancer.

Since December 2008 through 2016, OCA of San Diego has helped educate the medical community through presentations to over 4,800 medical students, residents, nursing students, practicing medical physicians and healthcare providers throughout San Diego County.
