Purpose

The purpose of the continuing medical education (CME) Program is to plan, develop, implement and evaluate independent, fair-balanced and scientifically rigorous educational activities that improve knowledge, competence and professional performance and effect behavior change with the goal of improving the quality and safety of patient care and healthcare outcomes. Activities are designed for physicians and other health professionals who interact with cancer patients, cancer survivors, their families and those at risk of cancer. 

Through these activities, the CME Program supports the mission of Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC) to "reduce the burden of cancer by integrating scientific discoveries and technological advances into more effective treatments and prevention strategies."

The CME Program is part of an overall FCCC commitment to quality improvement titled QUEST (Quality-Unity-Excellence-Science-Treatment). The CME activities offered to our learners embrace the standards associated with this commitment-to-excellence initiative.
