Learn from Leaders | Connect with Peers

Take advantage of this premier opportunity to deepen your expertise in CLL/SLL with insights from internationally recognized experts. Learn the latest evidence-based practices while building valuable connections with colleagues from around the world. Advance your clinical knowledge and expand your professional network—all in one place.

This live, 90-minute interactive breakfast workshop engages early-career hematologic oncology professionals in an immersive learning experience focused on chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). Participants will address real-world challenges and practice evidence-informed strategies through data-driven groupings, clinical simulations, and multidisciplinary breakout discussions

The curriculum incorporates findings from a pre-activity needs assessment to identify knowledge and practice gaps, shaping sessions around treatment guidelines, novel agents/combinations (e.g., BTK inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitor-based regimens), and strategies for risk stratification, AE management, and patient-centered care. Learners will also participate in shared decision-making (SDM) exercises and faculty-led micro-teach simulations to strengthen communication skills and ability to address patient/caregiver concerns.
