Gynecologic Oncology Outreach Evaluation

Abstract

The goal of our project was to decrease the morbidity and mortality caused by gynecologic malignancies in servicewomen and dependents in Europe and offer military health care providers within the European theatre an opportunity for continuing medical education. I believe we surpassed the initial goals of the project. With the placement of video-teleconferencing equipment at the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland in addition to the preexisting equipnient in the Gynecology clinic at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, we were able to expand our program to include not only Gynecology referrals but also Obstetrical referrals from the European theatre. In addition to improving patient care via VTC, this fall we broadcast the annual 2001 meeting of fl%e Armed Forces District Meeting of the American College of Obstetricians nnd Gynecologists from Norfolk, Virginia to military health care providers within the European theatre. This enabled military health care providers an opportunity for continuing medical education as well as an opportunity to interact with their peers in the military healfl% care community around the world.
