Overview
Oncology nurses encounter numerous challenges in implementing therapies that enhance survivorship and manage symptoms. To meet these challenges, they require ongoing education on the latest cancer treatments and best practices. Keeping abreast of the newest clinical data and working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary care team are crucial for achieving the best patient outcomes. Nurses need to bridge knowledge gaps by staying informed about recent advancements and applying new strategies in clinical practice.
The School of Nursing Oncology™ is dedicated to enhancing learning through a variety of educational formats, emphasizing multidisciplinary cancer care from the nurse's perspective. This event will highlight the latest advancements and management strategies, fostering interaction and idea exchange through panel discussions, case studies, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities. PER's effective educational methods ensure a highly interactive and collaborative meeting environment.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize emerging biomarkers and therapeutic targets that are driving the development of novel cancer therapies.
- Outline key findings from recent pivotal clinical trials that are shaping new treatment paradigms in solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.
- Apply evidence-based strategies to monitor, detect, and manage cancer-related symptoms and treatment-related toxicities associated with immunotherapies and targeted agents.
- Develop effective patient counseling approaches to support shared decision-making in oncology care.
Target Audience
This educational program is directed toward oncology nurses involved in the management of patients with cancer. Nurse practitioners, advanced practice providers (NPs, PAs) and other health care professionals interested in the management of cancer patients are also invited to attend.
