Overview
Podium to Practice is an accredited continuing education activity featuring two renowned experts who are actively engaged in clinical trials and the management of patients with B-cell malignancies.

Target Audience
This target audience for this activity is community and academic medical oncologists, hematologists, advanced practitioners (NP/PA/PharmD), and other clinicians who treat patients with B-cell malignancies.

Learning Objectives
After participating in this activity, learners should be better able to:

• Compare recent data of therapies for patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) 
• Determine how various patient- and disease-related factors impact selection of therapy and sequencing of agents 
• Develop strategies to integrate novel agents and regimens into practice as they become available in order to improve patient outcomes
