The Maurer Foundation’s Advanced Certification for Breast Health Educators Course is designed for individuals seeking to teach essential breast health information to patients, students, or your local community. We are able to offer this interactive course either in-person, virtually, or hybrid.

This hands-on training develops the skills necessary to detect breast lumps. Participants will also have the ability to practice effective presentation and public-speaking skills that will enhance the learner’s success as a breast health educator. Upon successful completion of this program you will be able to:

• Identify the components of the breast and the five stages of breast development
