Value of Oncology CME

In this video, Roy S. Herbst, MD, PhD, chief of medical oncology and associate director for translational research at Yale Cancer Center, discusses the importance of oncology continuing medical education (CME). Dr. Herbst believes that CME is the perfect forum to discuss recent discoveries in oncology. Live conferences bring together the academic community, community physicians, and pharmaceutical experts to discuss cases in real time. Dr. Herbst has attended most International Lung Cancer Congress^reg; meetings, and after being an expert in the treatment and research of lung cancer for the last twenty years, he continues to leave the meetings with a loaded arsenal of new information. Understanding data and making the best decision for your patient are crucial in oncology, and he exclaims that “PER^reg; [Physicians’ Education Resource^reg;, LLC,] does a wonderful job with these meetings.” He looks forward to future conferences.
