Oregon Society of Medical Oncology (OSMO)

Oregon's state society was among the country's first, and was originally formed as a patient advocacy group.

The purpose of OSMO shall be:
• To promote the highest professional standards of Oncology in the state of Oregon

In order to carry out these interests, some of the goals for the Society include:
• Affect legislation and public policy relative to patient access to cancer care
• Act as a resource on the "accepted medical practices" associated with cancer care
• Provide a forum for education of our members on current technologies and their role as accepted medical practices
• Provide communications to our members and others on issues affecting patient access to cancer care and the practice of oncology
