All participants felt the educational activity developed the roles of different specialties in the management of patients with breast disease, which was the main objective of this series.
Specifically, participants felt the series compared various treatment approaches and how to assess the potential risks and benefits of each approach, enhanced their ability regarding imaging work-up, surgical and oncologic treatment of patient, and promoted informative discourse on current medical, surgical radiologic, and radiation therapy modalities contributing to the learning experiences of all participants in beneficial and encouraging ways.

Most participants felt this virtual educational offering increased, improved, or positively impacted their medical knowledge, practice-based learning, patient care and outcomes, systems-based workflows, improved quality of care, and employed evidence-based practice.
The effectiveness of this virtual educational activity was measured by participants responses. 29% stated they have changed the management and/or treatment of their patients, and 43% have created/revised treatment protocols.

In summary, the breast care virtual educational activity accomplished the stated CME goals in 2019 and helped improve outcomes for breast patients.

When there are many complicated cases to be discussed, management issues may need to be revisited at the next conference in order to fully review and assess national guidelines and available literature. Also, there are updates that are presented at National conferences and in published peer-review journals that need to be reviewed by our multi-disciplinary team and incorporated in to our workflows as appropriate.

 In review of 2019, the effectiveness of this virtual educational activity was measured by participants responses. 29% stated they have changed the management and/or treatment of their patients, and 43% have created/revised treatment protocols. We are working to improve these percentages.
