Program Description
CAR T-Cell Therapy in Multiple Myeloma—A Case-Based Workshop will reinforce and expand on key concepts from Workshop 1 by applying them to real-world patient scenarios. Through structured cases, a faculty expert on MM will guide participants in exploring best practices for timely patient referral, coordination of care, and shared decision-making across the CAR T-cell therapy continuum. The workshop will address strategies for mitigating both short- and long-term treatment-emergent AEs while emphasizing multidisciplinary collaboration between community oncologists and treatment center teams. Learners will also review practical approaches to bridging therapy, logistical planning, and ongoing patient monitoring after CAR T-cell infusion.
Target Audience
This activity will provide continuing medical education (CME) that addresses identified knowledge and practice gaps among community-based hematologist/oncologist clinicians (MDs, APPs and nurses).

- Develop strategies to improve multidisciplinary care coordination between CAR T-cell treatment centers and community sites to overcome barriers associated with CAR T-cell referral and implementation
- Effectively communicate with patients to explain the benefits and risks related to CAR T-cell therapy
