About PER - Advisory Boards
JCME/CE and Curriculum Advisory Boards
PER is dedicated to promoting excellence in the delivery of patient care by providing quality educational opportunities. With an emphasis on oncology, our goal is to maintain and improve the competence and performance of multidisciplinary health care teams through effective continuing medical education (CME). We are assisted in this mission by CME/CE and Core Curriculum Advisory Boards. These boards provide input on educational needs and activities aimed at providing a multidisciplinary cancer care team with up-to-date information on evidence-based practice and emerging diagnostics and therapeutics in oncology.
