The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) on Monday,
May 1 will launch SITC Cancer Immunotherapy connectED, its new online education
tool for the greater cancer immunotherapy field. This education portal, part of
SITC Cancer Immunotherapy CONNECT, provides educational resources and
activities regarding current advances in cancer immunotherapy organized by
stakeholder groups (patients, clinicians and researchers).
With the recent explosion of information related to cancer
immunotherapy, there is a critical need for an unbiased educational resource
destination where everyone can find the information they need, when they need
it. SITC connectED will shape how we learn about cancer immunotherapy.
Utilizing a personalized learning system, SITC connectED
identifies and delivers resources customized to each individual user. This
portal highlights recent advances in the cancer immunotherapy field by
providing educational activities using content from SITC and partner
educational programs. SITC connectED bridges knowledge gaps by providing online
educational opportunities in a convenient and easy to use platform.
Through SITC connectED, clinicians and patients can stay
up-to-date on the most novel clinical applications of immunotherapy.
Educational materials from live events will also be featured, allowing users to
stay at the forefront of research in the immunotherapy field.
SITC connectED provides opportunities for medical professionals
to earn continuing education credits (CME, CNE and CPE) and apply new concepts
to clinical scenarios through engaging practice activities. Users will be able
to utilize robust communication tools to share and collaborate with others in
SITC CONNECT communities.
SITC connectED curates a variety of learning activities,
including online classes, videos and webinars from world-renowned leaders in
the field of cancer immunotherapy. This education portal will also provide
opportunities for patients, caregivers and advocates to learn new information
about the use of cancer immunotherapy to treat specific disease states.
Watch for an email on Monday providing a link to SITC
connectED. I implore you all to experience this innovative learning portal.
Best wishes,
SITC President
