CME Mission

Healthcare professionals are continuously charged with staying on the cutting edge of new medical treatments and technologies. As a professional association dedicated to the continuing education of oncology and hematology/oncology professionals, STO helps improve the quality, safety and equity of caring for cancer patients and others with weakened immune systems by ensuring the following expected results are fulfilled:

• • Knowledge and strategies for implementation of critical new developments in cancer treatment are brought forth to community oncology care teams

• • The translational gap between discovery and delivery of care to the patient is bridged by providing content that is evidence-based and falls within the discipline of clinical medicine

• • Continuing medical education activities are relevant and impact the professional practice of physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other members of healthcare teams who not only treat patients with cancer but others with weakened immune systems

• • Activities impact the performance of physicians and other interprofessional care team members and sustain change and/or foster improvements that positively impact the equitable provision of care
