Activity Description:

Nurses are often at the front lines of clinical care and as such, are perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between evolving clinical evidence and patient-centered care in Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) and Multiple Myeloma (MM). This dynamic educational activity will equip nursing professionals with the critical skills to integrate the latest advancements in CAR T-cell therapy into practice, ensuring alignment with NCCN guidelines and patient preferences. Through interactive case studies and expert-led discussions, you’ll be empowered to manage complex treatment scenarios, deliver comprehensive patient education, and navigate even the trickiest treatment-related challenges.

Don’t miss this opportunity to compete with and against your peers for prizes as you expand your knowledge and elevate your ability to provide holistic, evidence-based care, facilitate the smooth integration of CAR T-cell therapies in diverse clinical settings, and ultimately optimize patient outcomes

Earn up to 1.5 NCPD contact hours.

Space is limited, so  REGISTER TODAY!
