PLAINSBORO, N.J. (August 15, 2016) —Physicians’ Education Resource (PER^®) announces a partnership with Pharmacy Times Continuing Education (PTCE™) to accredit the 34th Annual Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium: Innovative Cancer Therapy for Tomorrow^® for pharmacists. Offering pharmacists credits at this flagship continuing education symposium allows PER to increase collaboration with pharmacists by providing education that addresses their specific clinical needs.
 
“PER is dedicated to advancing cancer care through professional education, and we are excited that our partnership with PTCE will enable the 34th Annual Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium: Innovative Cancer Therapy for Tomorrow to continue its legacy of providing continuing education credits to pharmacists,” said PER’s President, Phil Talamo. Accredited/certified for physicians and nurses by leading oncology and hematology CME/CE provider, PER, this year’s national meeting will take place Nov. 9-11, at the Marriott Marquis in New York City.
 
“Pharmacists are essential members of an interprofessional oncology treatment team,” David Heckard, president of PTCE, noted. “They are a critical resource to patients undergoing cancer treatment. Pharmacists are on the front lines of patient care, providing side effect management, patient education, and advocacy for patients undergoing complicated, sometimes long-term treatments. It is critically important for them to keep up with the complexities of evolving cancer treatments.”
