 TELESYNERGY, a portable live-time interactive telemedicine system, is utilized in developing the necessary infrastructure and professional education in the community. It is used for sharing information and approaches for case presentation, treatment planning conferences, and other specialized presentations by invited speakers and expert panels. Activities using the TELESYNERGY system are videotaped to create a library of topic-centered presentations that can be shared with the larger community. Components and summaries are placed on an Internet site to encourage communication with the larger oncology community.
