Accreditation Statement
The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education activities for physicians.
Credit Designation Statement
AACR has designated Dr. Ribas’ January 22, 2021, talk as an internet live activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Credit certification for individual sessions may vary, dependent upon compliance with the ACCME Accreditation Criteria. The final number of credits may vary from the maximum number indicated above.
Claiming CME Credit
Physicians and other health care professionals seeking AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM for this live continuing medical education activity must complete the online CME Request for Credit Survey by Friday, March 5, 2021. Certificates will only be issued to those who complete the survey. Your CME certificate will be sent to you via email after the completion of the activity.
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 1.0 Medical Knowledge Maintenance of Certification (MOC) points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) MOC program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.
To receive ABIM MOC, participants must request MOC in the CME Request for Credit Survey and complete all questions. Once these steps are completed, AACR will submit your completion information via the ACCME’s Program and Activity Reporting System for the purpose of granting MOC points.
Statement of Educational Need, Target Audience, and Learning Objectives
Rapid advances in basic oncology research necessitate equally rapid advances in the regulatory environment at the FDA such that the novel therapies and technologies for detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer being developed can be evaluated for their safety and efficacy based on the best current scientific knowledge.
Expert insight and analysis of such scientific breakthroughs will provide the regulatory staff at FDA with the skills and knowledge needed to evaluate new therapeutics and other medical products submitted for review to the agency.
After participating in this CME activity, physicians should be able to:
- Provide a broad understanding of the basic cancer research landscape.
- Identify cutting-edge cancer therapies that may progress to regulatory review.
