Abstract:
The need for rapid dissemination of medical information is linked with the requirement for training and career grade doctors to be up-to-date with their knowledge. Over 220 sites in Europe receive EuroTransMed oncology programmes, during the academic terms. The non-profit foundation brings together expert panels, providing the latest evidence for best practice. Viewers are able to interact during the programme with the panel members using phone, fax, ISDN and e-mail. Increasing use of telematics has helped in the development of this important quality learning initiative for doctors in Europe, and addressed the continuing education need of oncology health professionals.
