ForwardEmpowering Patients, Empowering Homes: Bringing Cancer Care Home
In cancer care, the rapid advancement of treatments and guidelines requires healthcare professionals to continuously update their knowledge and skills. Evidence-based oncology education ensures nurses and providers stay current with best practices, including chemotherapy protocols, immunotherapies, genomic testing, and supportive care, leading to improved patient outcomes and professional growth.
The curriculum will be grounded in the latest evidence and clinical standards, incorporating NCCN guidelines and ONS standards. Educational strategies will be designed to optimize learning and ensure participants gain validated, outcome-driven interventions.
This conference will be held virtually.
