Overview

Oncology Updates: Current Best Practices and Future Directions - WEBINAR SERIES

3rd Wednesday of Every Month - Virtual

Strategies for diagnosis and management of patients with hematologic and solid tumor malignancies are rapidly expanding. Delivering state of the art, evidence-based care requires ongoing continuing medical education. To meet the educational needs of practicing oncology specialists, UC San Diego is launching a disease specific monthly CME seminar series focused on providing clinicians with up-to-date and evidence-based data on evolving oncology practices. As the volume of clinical data exponentially grows, our goal is to deliver real-time, practical data to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of patients with oncologic conditions.

This virtual CME series will feature talks by invited guest faculty and UC San Diego faculty, all with internationally or nationally renowned expertise in the field of their presentation, as well as interactive case-base discussions with our guests and local experts.

Learning objectives, target audience, and accreditation vary per webinar. Please see individual courses on the schedule tab.

REGISTRATION IS FREE! Registration must be completed prior to the webinar start time. CME credit will only be awarded to those that register and attend the course.
