Core Session MOC Self-Assessment Activity

New this year, the Annual Meeting Core Session Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Self-Assessment activity is designed for Annual Meeting attendees who want to refresh their knowledge, update their skills, or simply prepare for their board certification or MOC examination. Registration includes access to an online pre-examination intended to highlight areas of educational need, a list of suggested Core Sessions to attend to fill knowledge gaps, and an online post-examination. After successful completion of the post-examination, participants will be eligible to claim 10 MOC points in Self-Assessment of Medical Knowledge.

ASCO is offering four in-depth educational opportunities dedicated to topics of interest in the oncology community, including:

New Drugs in Oncology

These one-day seminars are not part of the official ASCO Annual Meeting program, but will be held onsite at McCormick Place. Attendees can register for the seminars as part of their Annual Meeting registration by visiting chicago2013.asco.org.
