Virtual Challenging Case Clinic^TM Discussions Between Community-Based Clinicians and Experts

Virtual Challenging Case Clinic™:
Discussions Between Community-Based Clinicians and Experts

Our Virtual Challenging Case Clinic™ is an interactive webinar series held monthly or bimonthly in select therapeutic disease areas. Similar to a virtual tumor board, each Virtual Challenging Case Clinic™ aims to link community-based clinicians with disease state experts to obtain clinical recommendations and discuss how to address challenging cases. You will engage with experts as they go through particularly challenging cases planned by various faculty – or submit your own challenging case for an open discussion.

"Very good discussion. Brief and straight to the point with good background data. Thanks for this."
