Gather-ed - Making Sense of Rapidly Evolving Management Approaches in Multiple Myeloma

Time Commitment:

2 Hrs 30 min over 90 days

In this novel twist on a medical school staple of the peer-led study group, the Virtual Study Group provides a combination of collaborative and self-directed learning in a multi-interventional curriculum to delve more deeply into the multiple aspects of Multiple Myeloma diagnosis, workup, risk assessment, treatment, and patient care. Led by a local expert faculty, the Virtual Study Group includes cased-based presentations, discussions of clinical studies and expert guidelines as well as local considerations and cultural competencies. Learners will engage in assessments, self-study modules, and group activities, as well as live, online highly interactive meetings. This novel approach to learning complements the Multiple Myeloma webcast and provides deeper absorption of critical clinical information and its context to daily practice.

How to claim credit
Learners have the opportunity to earn up to a total of 2.5 CE for their participation in this small private online course curriculum. Credit will be awarded commensurate with leaner participation in the distinct components of the course curriculum.

Learners who participate in all of the self-study curriculum components are eligible to earn 1.25 CE hours.
Learners who also participate in the Live Group Discussions and the Group Task are eligible to earn additional CE; up to 1.25 CE hours commensurate with participation. These learners will be sent an email with instructions on how to claim this CE credit.

Self Study

Baseline Assessment - Multiple Myeloma

This baseline assessment is designed to assess learners' knowledge of key clinical concepts in multiple myeloma.
Multiple Myeloma - Overview, Disease Continuum, Recent Guideline Updates

This module provides an overview of multiple myeloma (MM), including disease burden and features and epidemiology. The module also discusses recent updates to the MM clinical practice guidelines from the NCCN/ASCO/CCO/IMWG regarding diagnosis and treatment of patients with MM.
Recently Approved Anti-Myeloma Agents

This module covers data for the new agents that have gained regulatory approval in MM in the past 5 years, including daratumumab, elotuzumab, selinexor, ixazomib, and panobinostat. Isatuximab, approved in March 2020, is discussed in the third self-study module.
Emerging Agents and Evolving Concepts in Multiple Myeloma

This module provides an overview of emerging agents and isatuximab, which was approved by the FDA in March 2020. Evolving concepts including minimal residual disease, molecular/genomics assessments, role of stem cell transplant, and personalization of MM care are also reviewed.
Final Self Assessment - Multiple Myeloma

This final assessment is designed to evaluate your clinical knowledge of key concepts in MM, after completing the learning activities in the virtual study group.

Live Group Discussions

Group Discussion 1: Review of Advances Across the Multiple Myeloma Continuum

This live discussion will offer an interactive session to discuss recent advances across the myeloma care and management continuum, including particularly challenging or emerging aspects that impact the care and management of MM patients in your practice. This is an opportunity to gain practical insights and perspectives in the care of your patients with multiple myeloma.

Please read the Activity, Faculty and CE information in the Resources section.
Group Discussion 2: Group Task Review

This Live Web Conference will target practical strategies for applying some of the information discussed in the modules and in our previous Group Discussions by focusing on the Group Task to which you all contributed. We will discuss your submitted responses and the comments that you posted and welcome everyone’s participation.

Please read the Activity, Faculty and CE information in the Resources section.

Group Tasks

Case Study: Refractory/Relapsed Multiple Myeloma

This case study is focused on application of knowledge of optimal response monitoring criteria and treatment options to draft a care plan for a patient with refractory/relapsed MM.
Case Study: Treatment Personalization in Heavily Pretreated Myeloma

This case study focuses on applying knowledge of emerging agents in MM and approaches to personalize treatment of a heavily pretreated patient with relapsed/refractory MM.
