The University of Nebraska Medical Center has proudly sponsored this regional conference for almost two decades, highlighting a long-standing commitment to advancing education and collaboration in hematology and oncology.

This year’s conference brings together leading experts to share the latest insights on myeloid diseases, lymphoid and plasma cell disorders, classical hematology, and gene therapy for sickle cell anemia, as presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH).

Designed to foster collaboration across disciplines, the conference features a nursing-led roundtable on the point-of-care needs of hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancies, as well as a pharmacy-driven session on infectious prophylaxis for patients receiving bispecific antibody therapy. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in interactive Q&A sessions, promoting meaningful discussions and enhancing knowledge of these critical topics.

At the conclusion of this activity, the participants should be better able to:

Review updates in emerging therapies for frontline and relapsed/refractory leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
Analyze emerging data on new clinical, genetic, and molecular prognostic factors and apply this information to enhance precision approaches for treating hematologic malignancies.
Summarize the impact of evidence-based findings from the 2025 ASH meeting on the management of hematologic malignancies and other hematologic diseases.
Discuss current evidence and best practice strategies for infectious prophylaxis and monitoring in patients receiving bispecific antibody therapy in academic and community settings.
Identify indications, risks, and benefits of gene therapy in sickle cell disease and other classical hematologic diseases.
Incorporate multidisciplinary expertise from nurses, pharmacists, advanced practice providers, and physicians in the inpatient care of patients with hematologic malignancies.

In support of improving patient care, University of Nebraska Medical Center is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
