MediCom Worldwide, an ACCME-accredited provider of continuing education, is proud to invite you, as a hematology/oncology fellow, to apply for the Fellow Scholarship Program to attend:

American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)
Annual Meeting
June 4-8, 2010
Chicago, Illinois

Please visit the conference website www.asco.org/chicago2010 to learn more about the meeting and view the preliminary program.

The objective of this scholarship is to provide an opportunity for outstanding fellows committed to clinical research and treatment of hematologic malignancies to attend a major scientific meeting covering the latest advances in the field in order to:

• Enhance their understanding of the latest advances which can be further integrated into their current and future work through attendance of meeting sessions and interaction with presenting investigators, other attendees, and other scholarship recipients
• Develop and refine communication and educational skill sets which allow fellows to translate advances in hematologic malignancies to practitioners in the greater community

Fellows’ work will be critically reviewed for evidence-based accuracy and constructive feedback will be provided.

The scholarship recipient will receive registration fees, airfare, and hotel accommodations to attend the conference. At the conference, the recipient is expected to attend a minimum of 6-7 assigned poster and/or oral sessions and prepare brief written summaries. The summaries will be CE accredited for 0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and will post on the MedicalEd.com website.

The scholarship recipient must complete all CE documentation related to the activity and participate in a pre-conference telephone call with the medical director of oncology for specific instructions regarding the sessions and how to prepare the summaries.

The scholarship recipient will receive an honorarium of $1,000 for all assigned written summaries.
