Blood Cancer and BMT SIG: SIG Meeting in Atlanta
Many thanks to the social workers who attended the Blood Cancer and Bone Marrow Transplant SIG meeting in Atlanta. Your energy and enthusiasm for collaborating and learning were amazing.
We especially thank Matt Floriani, LCSW, OSW-C, and Penny Lau, LCSW, OSW-C, from Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, for presenting their abstract, “Keys to Consistent Psychosocial Care for CAR-T patients: Collaboration, Communication, Relationship Building, Formalized Assessment and Interventions.” Their PowerPoint presentation and abstract can be found on the AOSW website on the Resources for SIGs page or here.
Also, a special thank you to PhD student and Research Assistant Jill Randall, MSW, LICSW, for sharing her ideas of a multicenter collaboration and comprehensive look at the value of a standardized psychosocial assessment in BMT. Stayed tuned to SWON for upcoming information and participation. Lastly, we would like to thank the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for their ongoing support and sponsoring our 2018 SIG presentation/meeting.
