Newly released Continuing Medical Education Training Program focuses on adult brain tumors
This web-based educational activity, Latest Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Malignant Gliomas, produced by our subsidiary, The Kelly Heinz-Grundner Brain Tumor Foundation, in partnership with Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, has been designed for radiologists, neuro-surgeons, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and other healthcare professionals interested in the treatment of gliomas. When patients present with neurological or cognitive deficits indicating a possible brain tumor, crucial decisions must be made to produce an accurate diagnosis, effective treatment plan, and hopeful prognosis. This multidisciplinary educational activity outlines the latest innovative approaches to treat patients with newly diagnosed tumors. The course is CME-certified by the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. A non-credit version of the program is also available for members of the general public. The course is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
