CONTINUING EDUCATION
CuLCaSG operates in a non-university, hospital-based environment where continuing education is not mandatory. CulCaSG works to:
1. stimulate information exchange between group members
2. organize regional, national, and international meetings and courses on specific lung cancer topics
3. financing short educational residency at outstanding cancer centers worldwide
PATIENT CARE
CuLCaSG enbraces an approach that synthesizes four different needs crucial in the comphrensive care of lung cancer patients:
1. efficacy
2. cost-effectiveness
3. respect of the patients' willingness
4. consideration of their quality of life
Since research, continuing education, tuition of new personnel, caring of patients' needs not covered by the Italian Health Service are expensive tasks, CuLCaSG is also committed:
TO RAISE FUNDS TO ENSURE ITS OWN EXISTENCE, A PRECONDITION FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE ABOVE THREE GOALS |
