PATIENT CARE CONFERENCES Cancer Conferences The goal of cancer conferences is to promote a multidisciplinary team approach to the whole care of a patient who has been diagnosed with cancer. During these weekly conferences, key specialist and managing physicians review and explore treatment options for all types of cancer cases. These conferences allow each specialist an opportunity to pool their expertise to create the most effective individualized treatment plan for each patient. The conferences are also forums to discuss new treatments related to cancer. One exciting improvement to the cancer conferences this year was to add remote attendance to those physicians who are unable to physically attend our weekly cancer conferences. The WebEx session is targeted towards physicians whose schedules do not allow them to attend the on-site cancer conferences, but would still like to participate during the live event. Continuing Education credits will be available for remote participants. There will be no charge for these events, but you must pre-register for each event via a link that will be emailed to interested parties before each conference. Each week notification is sent to all staff physicians inviting them to participate in this wonderful event.
