Activities

For practicing physicians, we offer courses and other resources highlighting recent developments in patient care and research.

The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center CME Program sponsors a range of activities including courses directed primarily at non-staff physicians, which may offer hands-on skill training, and regularly scheduled conferences directed to specific groups of specialists on the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center staff, and offered to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center regional networks through video-conferencing technology. Also recognized as methods of providing the community of practicing physicians with information in a practical, expeditious and productive manner are enduring materials and Internet/Web-based programs and publications. The expected results are the enhancement of professional knowledge with the immediate goals of stimulating new research ideas and improving patient care and treatment outcomes.
