Daiichi Sankyo’s Independent Medical Education Grants support oncology programs with a bona fide medical, scientific, or educational objective. The program funds accredited continuing medical education (CME), non-CME education, and Healthcare Improvement (HCI)/Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives. Its goal is to accelerate evidence into practice through fair, balanced, scientifically accurate information that ultimately improves patient care.
CME activities develop clinicians’ knowledge, skills, and professional performance in basic medical sciences, clinical medicine, and healthcare delivery. Non-CME examples include scientific conference lectures, education delivered by patient advocacy groups or professional societies, disease-state awareness, and healthcare-related public policy initiatives. Programs must remain independent of Daiichi Sankyo influence in submission, design, and implementation. CME and non-CME programs follow the same independence standards for content, faculty selection, educational methods, materials, venues, and attendees.
