Fundamentals of HCT Training Course

The Fundamentals of HCT Training Course is a 2-day conference that will be taking place virtually on Saturday, April 24 - Sunday, April 25. This course provides a broad overview and introduction of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), also referred to as blood and marrow transplantation (BMT), as well as cellular immunotherapy (CI). Throughout the lectures, participants will be introduced to numerous aspects of the HCT-CI processes, which are designed to develop or enhance skills required in the management of patients undergoing these procedures. This course incorporates case-based learning to emphasize application of concepts taught through didactic lecture with a strong focus on the pharmacotherapeutic management. Additional details, guidance, and review of clinical materials can also be found in the supplemental electronic handbook. The target audience for this course includes new practitioners, residents, fellows, pharmacists, and nurses or those training in this discipline.
