Target Audience and Needs

Clinical and research faculty, graduate and medical students, clinical and postdoctoral fellows, and clinical and research nurses in pediatric hematology-oncology need to receive regular updates on the latest clinical trial data concerning hematological-oncological disorders in children and advances in targeted therapies for these disorders. Learners also need regular reviews of the ethical and legal issues surrounding end-of-life care and of the evolving practice standards for follow-up care for long-term survivors of hematological-oncological disorders. The series aims to increase the knowledge and skills of the learners to enhance the quality of healthcare, increase patient safety, and improve patient outcomes.


Educational Methods

Educational methods will include lectures, case presentations, literature review, and panel discussion.
