Continuing Education Events

Advancing dermatological education

As the state's only academic medical center, 博彩网站 is dedicated to driving dermatological education across Oregon, for all providers. We host in-person and virtual continuing medical education (CME) events. As this effort is primarily driven by the 博彩网站 Knight Cancer Institute's Melanoma Program, topics are most commonly the latest in treatment and research options for those with melanoma.

In addition to these educational opportunities, 博彩网站 will soon be opening up a virtual platform to join weekly Melanoma Tumor Board meetings.

  • Provide the best melanoma care in the country in Oregon
  • Enable virtual access for all clinicians in Oregon to melanoma specialists in the state
  • Improve access to the best care available for all melanoma patients in Oregon
  • Increase appropriate enrollment into melanoma clinical trials to improve future melanoma care
  • Educate clinicians throughout the state on the evidence-based care practices for melanoma
  • Increase Oregon's melanoma registry awareness and use
