Familiarity with rehabilitative assessment tools, treatment planning software, and electronic medical records is commonly required. Strong interpersonal skills, compassionate communication, and motivational abilities help build trust and encourage patient engagement. These competencies are crucial for developing individualized recovery plans, optimizing patient outcomes, and collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary oncology care teams.
