CME on Basics of Chemotherapy

An hour long CME session on this subject was conducted by the Senior Gynecologist , Dr Ugen Tshomo at the Hospital Conference hall. About 26 participants were present from all categories of hospital staff. It covered all aspects of chemotheraphy including the basic princicples, drug classifications, outcome, drug administrations and toxicity. I personally found it very informative and realised that we had made mistakes at times with the administration of drugs.

We had expected a good participation from the clinical staff but it was surprising and discouraging to see that less than half of the hospital nurses came for the CME. Although they keep on complaining that they lack CME credits and CME oppurtunities, they actually dont come when it is organised. Our typical characteristics!
