Continuing Medical Education
CME Mission Statement
The purpose of The GOG Foundation, Inc. CME program is to provide and promote an infrastructure dedicated to enhancing the knowledge base of meeting participants and guests centered on the development, execution, analysis, and application of GOG Foundation supported clinical trials. To that end, the CME Program engages in these discussions with member researchers and invited clinicians committed to reducing the risk and improving outcomes for women at risk for or afflicted with a gynecologic malignancy.
The educational goals of our CME program are to:
- Increasing awareness in the medical community for current standards of care and critical research issues with respect to the prevention and treatment of gynecologic cancer.
- Supporting multidisciplinary members in design and execution of high-quality research related to gynecologic cancers.
