OVERVIEW
2018 Therapeutic Apheresis Academy is organized by University of Virginia (UVA) and will be held from Sep 20 - 22, 2018 at University of Virginia Pinn Hall (formerly Jordan Hall), School Of Medicine, Charlottesville, Virginia, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is physicians in nephrology, hematology, pathology/ blood banking, and other allied health professionals with an interest in therapeutic apheresis. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 14 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Additional 3.25 credits for Lab!.
Conference Description :
This conference will build upon previously established interprofessional learning using modern learning techniques. The interactive didactic sessions will present an overview of current practice and information on building a new therapeutic apheresis service. The small group and fully interactive demonstration workshops will showcase clinical applications and provide an opportunity to glean practical tips from expert practitioners.
Conference Objectives are :
• List examples of current clinical indications for therapeutic apheresis in each of the our existing categories
• Have updated knowledge of the most recent (summer 2016) guidelines for clinical use of Apheresis Medicine
• Apply clinical and administrative knowledge necessary to set up and run a Therapeutic Apheresis Service
• Describe the attributes of varying types of apheresis equipment
• Understand and compare the duties of each member of the Therapeutic Apheresis team in hospital-based versus traveling Apheresis Units
At the end of the laboratory experience, participants will be able to:
• Distinguish and differentiate procedures performed by several classes of therapeutic apheresis instrument modalities: (a) centrifugation, (b) column (filtration) and (c) centrifugation + irradiation.
• Elucidate patient information required for procedures performed on each class of instrument.
• Describe the vascular access options and requirements as these relate to patient, procedure, and instrument.
• Describe the blood pathway from access through processing and returning to the patient for the various procedures and instruments.
• Identify instrument parameters which can be adjusted.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
