September 2024 Sickle Cell Disease Nursing Bootcamp: Train the Trainer
This initiative will be an opportunity offered for nurses to learn the care of sickle cell patients in an academic setting with instructors who are education, sickle cell disease and research experts.
Sickle cell disease is one of the most common hematologic disorders and is prevalent in the Mid-South, but education and resources are severely lacking for providers who care for patients living with the disorder. This 5 day bootcamp will provide robust training on sickle cell disease and will prepare you to train others on the disease.
