A new organization, formed by advanced practitioners, will be focused on meeting the educational and professional needs of the advanced practitioner in hematology and oncology. This new group will be called the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology (APSHO) and was launched at the JADPRO Live Conference last weekend in St. Petersburg, FL.
Advanced practitioners, as defined by the society, include nurse practitioners, physicians assistants (PA), clinical nurse specialists, advanced degree nurses, and pharmacists.
“JADPRO has brought the advanced practitioner relevant and practice-changing clinical updates since 2010. With the inception of APSHO, we look forward to doing even more to support the advanced practitioner audience and to provide a level of educational opportunities targeted to stimulate and add to our clinical and practical knowledge base,” said Pamela Hallquist Viale, Editor-in-Chief of JADPRO and a founding member of APSHO, in a statement to the press.
