The University of Connecticut School of Medicine, Office of Community and Continuing Medical Education, is now offering CME to our UConn licensed physician faculty/clinicians, affiliated UConn licensed physician faculty/clinicians, APRN’s, and other invitees or learners who actively participates and attend any of our live UConn Health Tumor Board sessions. The CME office values the uniqueness of the Tumor Board learning process in which it addresses the educational content differently than our other more common traditional CME learning activity types, along with the understanding that each member of the Tumor Board is indeed an active learner.
