BMT Education Class

May 9, 2023

City of Hope Arizona is building an Immune Effector Cell Therapy Program. We are starting with Autologous Stem Cell Transplant. We have many new staff members, some of whom do not have extensive Stem Cell Transplant experience. Our program will provide up-to-date education in the basics of Autologous Stem Cell Transplant. It will teach staff about some of the common complications of Autologous Stem Cell Transplant. It will do this in a collaborative group setting allowing for team dialogue regarding current practices and relevant patient discussions. 

Our team is composed of doctors, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists from different programs and perspectives. In building the program, it is important to have standard practices when caring for cellular therapy patients. While we have SOPs in place, many learners benefit from in-person discussion and real patient case scenarios. The gap exists at this time because of the growth and development of a new program. 
 

Target Audience

City of Hope Phoenix Cellular Therapy Team (APPs, RNs, Pharmacists, MDs) for staff education.
