New medications and new guidelines are constantly being released. Pharmacists need a mechanism to keep up with these new medications and guidelines.
The current problem in practice that this education aims to address is the lack of clear guidelines and evidence-based dosing strategies for chemotherapy in transgender and amputee patients. This knowledge gap can lead to disparities in care and variations in dosing decisions, potentially affecting treatment efficacy and safety.
