T-Cell Lymphomas: Online Education Significantly Improves Clinicians' Knowledge of Therapeutic Advances

Background: Therapeutic advances have made the treatment of T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) more effective, less toxic, and more individualized, but research indicates that the multidisciplinary team faces challenges in maintaining a working knowledge of evolving data that can inform clinical decision making. This study was conducted to determine if an online, case-based continuing medical education (CME)/nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) activity could improve clinicians' skills regarding the individualized treatment of patients with TCLs. The educational intervention was intended for all members of the multidisciplinary team: hematologist-oncologists, oncology advanced practitioners and nurses, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with TCLs.
