Celebrating Forward Strides This Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the disease and improve patient outcomes. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes with good news: breast cancer prognoses are at an all-time high in the United States, thanks in no small part to early detection technology and initiatives, as well as targeted treatments. That’s the power of awareness: informed providers and educated patients are the backbone of breast health.
If you are a medical resident, fellow, or clinician looking to stay up to date on the latest in breast cancer care, quality continuing education might already be in your pocket. OncoBlast, Binaytara’s CME app, has over 48 expert-created courses on solid tumors and hematologic malignancies—all of which provide CME credits (including ABIM MOC points, AMA PRA Credits, and Nursing Contact Hours).
The course list updates weekly. This October, there are a number of free continuing medical education courses on OncoBlast available for enrollment. Each one is packed with actionable insights that can help you in everyday breast cancer management. Below is a peek into what each course has to offer.
