January 3, 2025 - December 18, 20252025 Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative (MCGI) Genomic Tumor Board (GTB) Series
Virtual
While somatic cancer panel tests are available to oncologists, many questions remain on how to best integrate them into clinical practice. Chief among the questions are: (1) when to incorporate genomic testing during the course of a patient’s care to achieve maximum benefit; and (2) whether repeated testing can serve to track cancer evolution and refine treatment regimens. Addressing these questions ultimately depends on the clinician’s ability to understand the genomic information provided by these tests and to efficiently extract and evaluate actionable results. The Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative (MCGI) aims to overcome these barriers. The MCGI Genomic Tumor Board meeting series functions as an educational opportunity for oncology clinicians with the objectives outlined above. The MCGI provides an opportunity to serve as a model for community genomic medicine.

In-Person | https://critcarelabs.com/
The Critical Care Training Associates offers a variety of courses that were initially developed at the request of Maine physicians and critical care transport providers who needed to improve their skills, particularly emergency airway and trauma management skills. CCTA developed a unique, humane training program using fresh sheep cadavers, and their education modules have evolved to become effective labs that provide instruction and real-world simulation that allow students to master skills that actually translate to clinical practice. The results speak for themselves, and the program continues to grow after 28 years of ongoing development and improvement. Two main classes include Advanced Airways Skills Lab and Advanced Trauma Skills Lab but additional courses are available.
