0801 Study Coordinators' Session
0900 - 1200

Everything you wanted to know about 0801... but were afraid (or too busy) to ask!
This session will include a review of transplant procedures and post transplant complications in relation to the data collection forms.

Key aspects of participant enrollment, data collection, primary and secondary study end points and the NIH Consensus Guidelines will be covered. The "GVHD Worksheet" will be reviewed. This will be a great opportunity to meet other study coordinators, ask questions and provide your feedback!

Trainee Session
0900 - 1200

CBMTG 2012 will feature a special trainee session to focus on the fundamentals of both autologous and allogeneic transplantation. This session will be chaired by JK and will feature Hans Messner (Toronto), Michael Crump (Toronto), Andrew Daly (Calgary) and Kevin Song (Vancouver) as speakers. The session will be held on Wednesday April 11th from 9-12. Trainees are welcome to attend this session for free and do not need to be registrants for the full CBMTG 2012 meeting. This is an excellent opportunity to develop an understanding of the role of stem cell transplantation in medicine from a group of world leaders in the field.
