Medıcinec o n f e r e n c e

FocusThis conference expects to provide current information on

identifying oncologic emergencies, the best practices when treating

cancer patients with emergencies, the significance of palliative care

in the patients presenting to the emergency department, symptom

and pain management, toxicities associated standard of care

therapies as well as immunotherapies, and other topics that are

critical to supporting and treating cancer patients. Our conference

aims to continue to fill the knowledge gap by providing information

in an interactive forum that in turn enhances medical decision-

making by healthcare providers. Our conference will cover a variety

of topics including:

• Immunotherapy Panel Discussion (Understanding; GI Toxicities; Pulmonary Toxicities)

• CAR-T Cell Panel Discussion (Mechanics; Neurotoxicity)

• Side Effects of Conventional Chemotherapies• Cardiac Toxicities• Pulmonary Embolism Response Team• Cancer Prevention in the ED• Malignant Bowel Obstruction• Oncologic Observation Units• Palliative Care in the Emergency Department

& Advance Care Directives• Depression, Suicide & Neglect• Pain Management & Symptom Control• Neutropenic Fever• Ultrasound in Cancer Patients in the ED

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVESAfter attending the conference, participants should be able to:• Identify emergent medical conditions

(e.g. adverse events, symptoms, pain, etc.) that occur in cancer patients and demonstrate best practices to maximize quality of care within an emergency medicine environment (Knowledge, Competence, Performance, Patient Outcomes);

• Educate on supportive care treatment plans for cancer patients that experience complex symptoms that result in cardiac toxicities, tumor bleeding, bowel obstructions, pulmonary effusion, and enduring pain (Knowledge, Competence, Performance, Patient Outcomes);

• Integrate palliative care skills, inclusive of advance care directives, during the emergency visit, especially patients contending with late stage disease (Knowledge, Competence);

• Provide a comprehensive understanding of innovative cancer therapies, inclusive of the side effects, to the cancer patient (Knowledge, Competence, Performance, Patient Outcomes);

• Recognize other sociological aspects of the cancer diagnosis such as depression, suicide and neglect and identify opportunities to address prevention programs (e.g. tobacco cessation) that will offer benefits to the cancer patient (Knowledge, Competence);

• Discuss the benefits of placing cancer patients into an observation unit (versus admitting into the hospital) (Knowledge).

EDUCATIONAL METHODSLecture/Didactic – Case Study – Audience Response System – Panel Discussion – Question and Answer Sessions – Poster Session

TARGET AUDIENCEThis conference should be of value to Physicians, Advanced Practice Providers, pharmacists, fellows, and residents.

EVALUATIONA conference evaluation link will be included in the final program. This online survey will provide participants with the opportunity to comment on the value of the program content to their practice decisions, performance improvement activities or possible impact on patient health status. Participants will also have the opportunity to comment on any perceived commercial bias in the presentations as well as to identify future educational topics.

ACCREDITATION/CREDIT DESIGNATION

PHYSICIANSThe University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center designates this live activity for a maximum of 11.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

call for AbstractsDEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2018.

The 2019 Oncologic Emergency Medicine Conference invites the submission of abstracts regarding clinical care or best practices in an emergency care setting. The goal is to provide the audience an opportunity to collaborate and stimulate discussions specifically on how an emergency center delivers quality patient care whether in an academic, hospital or community based setting. The type of research can be qualitative or quantitative and have a focus in public health, health services, epidemiology, or public policy. Ideally there should be a focus on the care of the cancer patient in an emergency room setting but work in areas commonly encountered in oncological patients such as sepsis, pain, electrolyte imbalances, symptom management, and palliative care measures are encouraged.

Authors may submit abstracts of completed work, work in progress or work elsewhere within the past 12 months. Selected abstracts will be published in the Journal of Emergency Medicine.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:Abstracts will only be accepted electronically and should be uploaded to: EmergencyMedicine2019@mdanderson.org

The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 11:59 PM CST on Friday, December 14. Notification of acceptance for poster presentations will be acknowledged by e-mail by Friday, January 4, 2019.

ABSTRACT FORMATTING INSTRUCTIONS:Limit abstracts to one page, type in 12-point Times New Roman font, single spaced with one-inch margins, and left justified. Organize the abstract into: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Define all abbreviations. Include the abstract title, full names, and institutional affiliations of all authors, and e-mail address of the corresponding author at the top of the abstract. Underline the name of the presenting author. Abstracts must not contain copyrighted material unless permission has been obtained by the author/publisher.

Wednesday, January 16 and Friday, January 18

IS THERE A DOCTOR ON BOARD?

In addition to the Oncologic Emergency Medicine Conference, we will be offering a 3.5-hour workshop aimed at preparing Healthcare Professionals (HCP) to become effective responders during in-flight emergencies. It will cover essential topics such as the physiologic stress of flying, the epidemiology of in-flight medical emergencies, the medical-legal considerations of responding, resources available to responders on a plane, and a structured approach to the most common in-flight chief complaints. We will integrate and emphasize important concepts via simulation helping HCP become better equipped in responding to most types of in-flight medical emergencies.

ACCREDITATION/CREDIT DESIGNATIONThis live activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM

NOTE: This symposium is NOT included in your 2019 Oncologic Emergency Medicine Conference registration fee; however the course will be offered as an add-on option when you complete your online registration for the Conference.
