The Brigham and Dana-Farber Board Review in Hematology and Oncology 2018 (CME Videos)

Brigham and Women’s Hospital Board Review

This comprehensive CME program offers an in-depth, case-base review of the clinical essentials in hematology and oncology. Ideal for MOC.

Improve Patient Care in Hematology and Oncology

The Brigham and Dana-Farber Board Review in Hematology and Oncology will help improve clinical practice gaps in hematology and oncology derived from the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) certification/recertification requirements. Relevant topics are addressed in case-based board review presentations. Improve patient care by learning to:

• Perform differential diagnosis of complex hematologic and oncologic disorders
• Identify and apply current therapeutic options for hematologic and oncologic disorders
• Evaluate and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to hematology and oncology
• Illustrate knowledge of pathophysiology of hematologic and oncologic disorders
• Illustrate knowledge of pathophysiology as it applies to management of Hematology and Oncology disorders
• Apply knowledge gained to the ABIM certification/recertification Hematology and Oncology examinations
