Physician Oncology Education Program(POEP) -

P-O-E-P Spells State-of-the-Science in Cancer Control

The Physician Oncology Education Program of TMA will bring state-of-the-science continuing medical education to locations across Texas as part of its 1999-2000 seminar series. Assisted by a local physician and each region's medical community, POEP will target primary care physicians' needs in cancer prevention, screening and early detection.

POEP will also present symposia on the latest developments in cancer including genetic evaluation, treatment of cancer pain, and updates on cancer prevention and screening. By partnering with the American Cancer Society, the Nurse Oncology Education Program and the San Antonio Cancer Institute, the POEP will ensure that these programs reach clinicians with timely, relevant information.

The mission of the Physician Oncology Education Program (POEP) is to provide Texas physicians and physicians in training, including medical students, with the knowledge and the skills necessary to reduce the burden of cancer on Texans. Toward this end, the program offers CME not only through POEP's programs and symposia but through modules on eight cancer sites and a CD-ROM on breast cancer. These original materials offer physicians easy access to CME on cancer control topics important in every primary care practice.

The POEP is guided by a Steering Committee of twenty-two professionals including representatives from each medical school in Texas, specialty societies and other related organizations. For more information on the program, contact Andy Miller, Program Manager, at (512) 370-1673 or e-mail to andy_m@texmed.org.
