Ethnic Physician Organizations Launch Cancer Screening Project
[Posted 10/06/05]

The CMA Foundation’s Network of Ethnic Physician Organizations (NEPO) recently launched the Cancer Screening Project to increase awareness about cancer screening and highlight the need for early cancer detection in ethnic communities.

NEPO has posted on its website reference and resources for physicians and patients, including multicultural outreach materials (press releases, flyers, advertisements), clinical tools for physicians, and an online cancer screening CME course, “Physicians as Agents of Change.”

Available in 11 different languages, the project’s patient education materials are designed to enhance communication between physicians and patients and reduce early cancer detection disparities in ethnic populations.
