“One of CMEO’s goals is to create a meaningful learning experience for clinicians around the world,” stated Whitney Faler, MPA, CMEO’s director of accreditation and outcomes. “In these short-form online activities, learners are able to gain valuable insights on key topics they can immediately apply to their practice.”

“This award is appreciated and demonstrates CMEO’s growing compendium of activities in oncology and our focus on growth outside of the United States. We have made a concerted effort to expand our ex-US learners that are hungry for our education and are very pleased with the engagement of international health care professionals in our activities,” commented Jan Perez, SVP, CME Outfitters.

“We are honored to be recognized again by NAMEC for the 6th consecutive year, reflecting our dedication to bringing current, innovative education to the global medical community,” Faler said.
