We are committed to enhancing the clinical skills of both practicing physicians and those still in training by providing unique educational activities that innovate, rather than duplicating available options.
Programs and Events
The PLATO Foundation’s inaugural educational activity convened at the annual 33rd Annual CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) on December 10th, 2010, in San Antonio, Texas. SABCS is the premiere meeting in the world solely devoted to breast cancer. The educational symposium was titled “Controversial Topics in Breast Cancer: Straight Talk with International Experts.” This educational forum, chaired by Larry Norton, MD, of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Martine J. Piccart, MD, PhD, of Institute Jules Bordet, was supported by The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and European School of Oncology (ES0). The satellite symposium was attended by more than 600 healthcare professionals, 87% of whom felt that the presentations were commercially unbiased. A panel of international experts specifically addressed current controversies in breast cancer management in a very practical and straight forward manner.
“The faculty was outstanding and the format of the event was great,” exclaimed an attendee.
“This program was excellent,” a healthcare professional noted on the evaluation form.
