Target Audience

Pediatric hematology, oncology, and bone marrow transplantation physicians, advanced practice providers, residents, fellows, and medical students.

Needs Statement

Rapid advancements in pediatric hematology, oncology, and bone marrow transplantation have significantly improved outcomes for children with blood disorders, immune deficiencies, bone marrow failure syndromes, and cancer.  To keep abreast of these advancements, healthcare providers in these fields need to receive regular updates on improved diagnostic techniques, refinements in chemotherapeutic and hematopoietic cell therapies, and conditioning regimens for bone marrow transplantation, among others. By broadening the knowledge base of learners at all levels of care, the series aims to increase their competency to provide quality, evidence-based, individualized treatment for pediatric hematologic-oncologic diseases and their complications. The overall goals are to improve systems-based clinical practice and individual patient outcomes.

Educational Methods

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

• Analyze informative patient cases in the context of the relevant literature to identify areas for systematic clinical change.
