Join leading expert Dr. Tara Graff for this accredited virtual workshop. Designed around real-world clinical delivery, this interactive workshop examines the practical journey from writing a bispecific antibody prescription to safely administering the first dose in community practice. Through faculty-led case discussions and real-time decision-making exercises, participants will explore the implementation of standardized step-up dosing protocols, treatment initiation planning, premedication regimens, mandatory hospitalization/observation considerations, patient/caregiver readiness evaluations, and the operational workflows required to support safe outpatient administration.
This workshop is part of a series. Register for workshops 1, 3 and 4 below:
Workshop 1 - Selecting the Right Patient at the Right Time
