Recorded Pharmacist Educational Series (CE)

Gene and cell therapies are quickly integrating into pharmacy practice and present unique challenges not encountered with traditional medications in the clinical pharmacy setting. Health-system pharmacies must take an active role in onboarding these therapies including evaluating biosafety precautions along the medication use pathway, assisting with the development of infrastructure to administer and monitor these therapies, and identifying the practical and financial implications of these therapies within the health-system.  

This series of on-demand mini-webinars was developed by the Section of Clinical Specialists and Scientists Section Advisory Group on Emerging Sciences.

Recorded Pharmacist Educational Series: Gene & Cell Therapy Educational Series: Part 1 – Identifying the Gene & Cell Therapy Education Gap in Health-System Pharmacy Practice

This activity will focus on identifying and mitigating translational gaps for health-system pharmacists handling gene and cell therapies within their institutions.

Recorded Pharmacist Educational Series: Gene & Cell Therapy Educational Series: Part 2 – In Vivo & Viral-based Gene Therapy

Healthcare professionals working in hospitals or infusion clinics are faced with a rapid increase in gene therapy approvals. This activity will provide a foundational understanding of virus biology is necessary to establish safe handling practices and to optimize patient care.

Recorded Pharmacist Educational Series: Gene & Cell Therapy Educational Series: Part 3 - In Vivo & Viral-based Gene Therapy: Operational Considerations

This activity will focus on the operational considerations for the use of in vivo and viral based gene therapies in health-system pharmacies and the appropriate stakeholders.

Recorded Pharmacist Educational Series: Gene & Cell Therapy Educational Series: Part 4 - In Vivo & Viral-based Gene Therapy: Education & Supportive Care Considerations

This activity will focus on supportive care needs for patients receiving viral-based therapies in clinical and research settings as well as opportunities for health-system pharmacists to collaborate with other members of the care team to integrate these therapies into the medication use process.

Recorded Pharmacist Educational Series: Gene & Cell Therapy Educational Series: Part 5 – Genetically Engineered Cell-based Therapy

This activity will focus on providing pharmacists and pharmacy technicians with basic information on how cellular-based gene therapies work and how they are made and delivered to patients. This presentation will also review the available and soon to be available cell therapy products.

Gene and Cell Therapy Educational Series Part 6: Genetically-engineered Cell-based Therapy: Product Pathway Logistics and Considerations

Gene and cell therapies are quickly integrating into pharmacy practice and present unique challenges not encountered with traditional medications in the clinical pharmacy setting.

Gene & Cell Therapy Educational Series Part 7 – Genetically Engineered Cell-based Therapy: Supportive Care
