The Pharmacy HCT Core Topics Connection Live Session will air on Thursday, January 9, from 2:00 - 3:00 pm CST.

This educational offering will focus on core topics in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and cellular therapy. The target audience is PGY2 Oncology Pharmacy Residents, but participation is open to all pharmacists or pharmacy trainees practicing or interested in transplantation and cellular therapy.

Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) play a crucial role in the functioning of transplant and cellular therapy programs of all sizes. Physician Assistant and Nurse Practitioner academic programs provide little training specific to HSCT and cellular therapy. However, this area of health care requires specialized knowledge and skills. Transplant and cellular therapy programs in medical institutions must develop their own educational plans and resources. These can range from very minimal to extensive educational programs depending on the institution. In response, the ASTCT APP SIG (special interest group) identified a need for a standardized document to help better train, onboard, and educate APPs working in transplant and cellular therapy.

The Fundamentals of HCT eBook provides up-to-date clinical information and covers the entire transplant process from pre-transplant consultation to post-transplant care. The book includes 31 chapters that highlight introduction to transplant, CAR-T, stem cell mobilization, pediatrics, and more!

This module will focus on Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell Therapies.

This webinar will explore the most effective methods to deliver high-quality survivorship care for transplant recipients, develop strategies to incorporate high-quality survivorship care in your clinic despite limited resources and help understand how to prioritize the most important survivorship issues to address for each transplant survivor.
