Engage Yourself While Learning

Become an “active learner” through your participation in the courses offered on ASCO University’s™ new interactive learning platform. Self-assessment modules and other courses are offered to support your needs for MOC and/or education.

Education: A number of interactive modules have been developed to address the educational needs of oncologists and others health professionals in oncology. These modules are all developed by expert faculty. Courses available now include ASCO-SEP^®, 1st Edition, the Quality of Care series, the Practical Tips Online Companion series, the Breast Cancer in Older Patients series and the Medical Responses to Mass Casualty Radiological and Nuclear Events. Also, watch for the June 8th release of the 2009 ASCO Annual Meeting e-Tracks!

Maintenance of Certification: All physicians holding time-limited certificates issued by one of the 24 Member Boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) must demonstrate life-long learning and enhancement of knowledge by successfully completing the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program every 6-10 years.

In collaboration with the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), an ABMS Member Board, ASCO continues to develop a series of online, interactive self-assessment modules to assist physicians in the MOC process. Each module consists of 25-30 multiple-choice questions with educational links to content from various sources. The educational objectives for each module incorporate two necessary MOC requirements that aim to improve skills in translating knowledge into clinical practice and applying strategies to successfully handle the topic presented. Upon successful completion, results for each module can be submitted directly to ABIM for 10 points in Lifelong Learning and Self-Assessment.
