635 Online CME improves the interprofessional team's ability to manage patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma

Background Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive inflammatory cancer commonly associated with prior exposure to asbestos. Until recently, approved systemic treatments for MPM have been limited chemotherapy regimens that had survival benefit overall poor outcomes. Both immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) tumor treating fields (TTF) improved in this population. As result of these advancements changing the treatment landscape, many members interprofessional team are challenged stay current emerging data knowing how best integrate into paradigms. The objective study was determine if an online continuing medical education (CME) intervention could improve oncologists' pharmacists' ability managing patients MPM. Methods activity consisted 30-minute video discussion between two expert faculty. 1 Educational effect assessed repeated pairs pre-/post-assessment including 3-item, multiple choice, knowledge/competence questionnaire one confidence assessment question, each participant serving as his/her own control. Pre- post-assessment scores were compared relative changes proportion correct responses questions. A paired samples t-test number change statistical significance . launched 5 January 2021; collected until 3 May 2021. Results Overall, statistically significant improvements seen after consumption oncologists (N = 44, P < .001) pharmacists 223, .001). Relative improvement answers 79% 123% (total 33%/59% 22%/49%, respectively). Following activity, 41% 57% measurable increase regarding their collaborate part management Conclusions Participation online, discussion-based CME-certified resulted knowledge/competence, increases These results translate clinical care. need additional educational activities also identified address residual gaps further clinicians' setting.
