CAPhO Conference 2024

The Oral Chemotherapy Management (OCM) Workshop takes place in conjunction with the CAPhO24 Conference. It is an in-person workshop developed by the Education Pharmacist Advanced Committee. 

Oral anti-cancer agents are becoming an increasingly common treatment option in the oncology setting. Although these medications are more convenient for patients, they also come with a number of challenges that include issues with drug access, adherence, toxicity, and interactions. If you are involved in providing care to patients receiving oral anti-cancer agents, or would like more information on these medications, then CAPhO’s Oral Chemotherapy Management workshop is for you. Join us on Thursday, April 11th from 12:30pm - 4:30pm as we work through three patient cases and identify how pharmacists can help remove barriers for patients receiving these treatments.

Participants will be provided with pre-workshop resources and cases to review in advance. During the in-person workshop, our facilitators will provide a short overview of toxicities associated with three classes of oral anti-cancer agents. You will then build on this knowledge as you are guided through managing treatment complications with the use of interactive patient cases.

Objectives:
1. Describe the toxicities associated with select classes of oral anti-cancer medications
2. Identify strategies for managing toxicities and drug interactions associated with oral anti-cancer agents
3. Describe the role of the pharmacist in caring for patients who are receiving oral anti-cancer agents
4. Discuss methods for implementing oral anti-cancer management into your clinical practice
