PARP Inhibitors: From Research to Practice Series (2021)
Complimentary CME Webinars!
PARP Inhibitors: From Research to Practice, an exciting new educational initiative, is a series of three interactive, case-based, live virtual courses, featuring a unique topic related to PARP Inhibitors. For each session, a Moderator will engage two other subject matter experts in an interactive, interview-style presentation and discussion.
Course #1: PARP Inhibitors: Assessing the Rapidly Evolving Treatment Landscape will update urologists and the urologic care team on the latest developments in PARPi treatments and advanced prostate cancer.
Course #2: PARP Inhibitors: Assessing the Clinical Trial Landscape will update urologists and the urologic care team on the on-going clinical trials related to PARPi and advanced prostate cancer.
Course #3: Best Practices in Advanced Prostate Cancer Care in the Community will highlight best practices in the care of advanced prostate cancer patients in the community setting, including the clinical coordination of care, shared decision making, and the more prominent role of telemedicine.
