CAGPO is a national organization serving the educational needs of General Practitioners in Oncology (GPO). GPOs are physicians that work in regional cancer centres and community clinics providing oncology care to patients with a cancer diagnosis. They work with medical, hematological, surgical, gynecological and radiation oncologists. GPOs provide inpatient and outpatient care to patients receiving treatment with both curative and palliative intent. CAGPO-ACMOO strives to support GPOs by providing high-quality medical conferences designed to meet the educational needs of GPOs and awards scholarships to encourage physicians to enhance their oncology knowledge.
