CASE-BASED LEARNING

Click here for the agenda

The Peabody Orlando

February 25, 2012 - Orlando, FL

Personalized medicine for treating breast cancer is a reality. This past year there has been much new "practice-changing" data published that affects the optimal way to treat, manage and care for your patients with breast cancer. This symposium will help you improve your selection of the most appropriate new therapeutic strategies, and will also help you to identify the patient sub-populations of breast cancer who will respond to personalized therapies.

Taught by the top academic experts and best teachers, this is THE symposium on breast cancer that you should attend in 2012. It also provides the most relevant data from the December 2011 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. This is the fifth year of this symposium and it continues to attract a full room of breast cancer clinicians who leave the program with the expert knowledge and competence needed to improve patient outcomes.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND RESOLUTION OF ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The following measures are used to prevent and monitor for COIs:

  1. Learners are always asked in all post-CME/CE activity evaluation forms whether there was any commercial bias, and if so, to explain.
  2. For all live courses, the BMLI take two additional measures to help ensure that the learners are made aware of full disclosure prior to all courses:
    1. BMLI sends to all pre-registered learners, one week before the live course, an Email containing the complete disclosure of reported conflicts of interest to date and indicating that any conflicts have been resolved.
    2. On site at the live course, the BMLI staff members at the registration table personally hand to all learners a copy of the complete and final COI form on a red-colored paper (red color is used for emphasis), and requests that the learner please read the COI form before the activity begins.
