Clinical Education Virtual Conference FOR APPS, NURSES, AND FELLOWS

The Clinical Education Virtual Conference for APPs, Nurses, and Fellows is a two day program that provides attendees with a deeper understanding of the diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic treatments for acute and chronic complications of hematopoietic cell transplantation and cellular therapies. Attendees have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions that will dig deeper into case studies and treatments of either the adult or pediatric patient populations, or attend a track specially designed for beginners (defined as at about one year into their careers in the field).

Registrants will receive ACCME or ANCC continuing education credit hours for participation during the live conference and may also view and receive credit for 30 days after the close of the conference.
