Education and Quality Projects

Physician Oncology Education Program (POEP)
Founded in 1987 by TMA with a grant from the Texas Cancer Council, the Physician Oncology Education Program (POEP) strives to provide Texas physicians, physicians-in-training, and those in training to become physicians (e.g., medical and undergraduate students) with the knowledge and the skills necessary to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality through collaboration among the public, private, and volunteer sectors of the state.

It's Time to Learn About Improving Quality
Physicians are ripe for education on the benefits of current quality-of-care programs, including the use of patient satisfaction surveys to assess performance and quality.
