CANCER IN AFRICA: APPROACHES, COLLABORATIONS, IMPACT

TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROGRAMME FOR AORTIC 2021 VIRTUAL

Since 1983, AORTIC conferences have provided a platform for innovative and interactive educational training across the full cancer-care continuum. An AORTIC conference creates space to forge partnerships, to network, and to build capacity. Our support for research creates new knowledge and drives innovation in cancer control.

All times are in South Africa Standard Time (SAST). The zone is two hours ahead of UTC/GMT (UTC/GMT +02:00) and is the same as Central Africa Time.

The programme will address issues across the cancer-care continuum and is presented in a variety of formats – from keynotes to workshops to symposia to case studies to oral presentations. Our Scientific Programme Committee represents the range of multidisciplinary specialists from the global cancer community that focus on cancer in Africa and is currently developing the provisional programme.

CPD/CME POINTS

AORTIC 2021 Virtual attendees can earn Level 1 CPD/CME points (up to 45 Clinical points) for conference attendance. Presenters can earn 2 Clinical points per hour presenting.

Simply complete the form to claim your points – as an attended or presenter – and the Conference Secretariat will email your certificate to you. The form will be open until 26 November 2021.

The conference is accredited by the South African Medical Association (SAMA) for Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA)-registered medical professionals. Attendees who are not registered with the HPCSA can have their attendance certificate converted at their respective councils.
