The POEP was established
by the Texas Medical Association in 1987 and is funded by the Texas
Cancer Council to provide Texas physicians and those in training to
become physicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to reduce
cancer morbidity and mortality through collaboration among the public,
private and volunteer sectors of the state. Among the educational
materials offered for purchase are a colorectal cancer module featuring
35mm slides and a book and a colorectal cancer section in the Cancer
in Special Populations module. Colorectal cancer is also covered in
several books published under the auspices of POEP that address recommended
core curriculum objectives and the health professionals role
in cancer screening. The POEP Speakers Bureau topic list includes
colorectal cancer and provides experts to speak at no charge to requesting
institutions.
