Physicians’ Education Resource® to Host 5th Annual School of Gastrointestinal Oncology®

Physicians’ Education Resource® (PER®), a leading resource for continuing medical education (CME), will host the 5th Annual School of Gastrointestinal Oncology® on Saturday, March 21, at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. The program will be co-chaired by world-renowned experts John L. Marshall, M.D., chief, division of hematology/oncology, Medstar Georgetown University Hospital; professor of medicine and oncology, Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center; and director, The Ruesch Center for the Cure of Gastrointestinal Cancers; and Michael A. Choti, M.D., MBA, FACS, chief of surgery, Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center.

“The gastrointestinal (GI) cancer landscape is constantly transforming, as is the growing number of therapies and treatment options,” said Phil Talamo, president of PER®. “This conference will educate attendees on how precision medicine has changed the treatment landscape and how to properly use precision medicine to optimize patient care and outcomes.”

SOGO® is a one-day, multidisciplinary educational conference, dedicated to exploring emerging therapies and evolving standards of care in the management of patients with GI tumors, with a focus on providing oncologists and gastroenterologists with the tools to individualize patient care. The program includes various modules that feature general presentations and workshops geared toward important concepts in the field. With separate tracks in medical oncology, surgical and radiation oncology, and case-based SOGO® seminars, the program is designed to match the learning interests of everyone who attends.

This year’s symposium will once again feature the dynamic and interactive Medical Crossfire® format, in which experts will engage in debate and answer questions about ongoing paradigm shifts. The program will also feature case-based lectures by expert faculty that explore the latest data and how it can affect decisions to improve outcomes for patients.
