GENERAL
INFORMATION
The IMPAKT Breast Cancer Conference organisers are pleased to announce a training course designed for early to mid-career oncologists
and research scientists on Wednesday, 6 and Thursday, 7 May 2015.
The training course is particularly focused on young professionals early
in their careers by providing them with an understanding of key topics in
translational research that are relevant for patient care in breast cancer.
Learning objectives
Accreditation
3.To understand the importance of translational research and how its integration can advance solving current clinical problems for breast cancer
patients
CME
The Pre-IMPAKT training course programme has been submitted for
accreditation by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing
Medical Education (EACCME) to provide the following CME activity for
medical specialists. The EACCME is an institution of the European Union
of Medical Specialists (UEMS), uems.net
Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical
Specialists and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1
Credits™. Information on the process to convert EACCME credit to AMA
credit can be found at ama-assn.org/go/internationalcme
ESMO-MORA
The programme has also been submitted for ESMO-MORA category 1
points accreditation. Recertification is necessary for medical oncologists to remain professionally certified by ESMO. Recertification guarantees that a certified medical oncologist has continued to update her/his
knowledge and continues to possess the necessary skills and standards
for the practice of medical oncology. For further details, please refer to
esmo.org
1.To understand essential concepts in basic science relevant for breast
cancer research and tools available for translational research
2.To understand the rapidly evolving research areas on new techniques
and technologies and how they provide new biological understanding
of breast cancer
4.To understand from different perspectives the concept of translations of
research findings from bench to bedside
Join the IMPAKT Breast Cancer Conference
The training course will be followed by the 7th IMPAKT Breast Cancer
Conference (7-9 May 2015), designed for breast cancer researchers
and clinicians who have a specific interest in translational research, new
agents, molecular and functional diagnostics, biomarkers and cuttingedge research applications in the clinical setting. Training course participants are also cordially invited to register for IMPAKT.
Participation
Attendance at the course will be restricted to 100 participants selected
by the Training Course Task Force on the basis of applications submitted. Applications supported by a Curriculum Vitae and a motivation letter should be sent via e-mail to [email protected] no later than 18
February 2015. Please refer to impakt.org for application instructions
and form.
