ESMO’s mission to ensure the highest standards of qualification of medical oncologists within the multidisciplinary team is supported through evaluation programs which certify the level of up-to-date knowledge, skills, and general competence necessary to be recognized as a practitioner of medical oncology.

These standards of patient-centered cancer treatment and care are strengthened by re-certification through continuous education and training in accredited oncology programs.

Rolf Stahel, Chair of the ESMO Educational Committee,
explains the important role of continuing medical education
in the optimal treatment of cancer patients.
