Progress in Prostate Cancer: A Focus on PARP Inhibitors

Patient Simulation

Recent approval of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as targeted therapy for patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and specific mutations offers a new challenge to healthcare professionals to effectively incorporate these agents into clinical care. This immersive virtual patient simulation activity will help healthcare professionals navigate the use of PARP inhibitors including adverse event management for patients with metastatic CRPC. The activity allows the participant to explore and guide the management of 3 different patient case scenarios.

For a quick review of the key evidence before starting these patient simulations, please see the associated expert commentary and downloadable slideset.

Format

Patient Simulation

In this virtual simulation platform program, you will meet 3 patients with prostate cancer. The program will have you proceed through your patient’s history, overview of the current situation, and physical exam. It enables you to obtain additional information by ordering laboratory values, imaging, and to make referrals. As the patient scenario warrants, add your recommendations for diagnosis, treatments, and follow-up. End your patient visit and schedule a follow-up. At each end-of-visit, you will see your progress in achieving the predetermined goals for the case. Each case will test your ability to diagnose and prescribe evidence-based recommendations to improve care.
