Assess Your Knowledge: FREE On-line Learning Activity for Primary Care Physicians re: Lung Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
Lung cancer kills approximately 160,000 people in the United States each year, more people than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined. Each year approximately 6,670 people from North Carolina are diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite advances in lung cancer treatment over the last decade, delays at various points in the continuum of lung cancer care have been documented.
To increase patient access to stage-appropriate care based on scientific evidence, a free online Learning from Self-Assessment (LSA) activity has been developed specifically for primary care physicians to assess competencies related to:
- Recognizing symptoms indicative of lung cancer;
- Evaluating patients when lung cancer is suspected;
- Communicating with lung cancer patients;
- Referring patients to appropriate specialists.
Visit http://cme.wisc.edu/LSA/AccessTLC/index.php to assess your competencies related to lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM through the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, which is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. This activity is supported by an educational grant from Pfizer.
For more information about this activity contact: North Carolina Lung Cancer Partnership, Sue Dayton, Project Manager, (336) 525-2003 or [email protected].
