This continuing medical education symposium will address continuing and emerging educational needs in the care and management of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Experts in the field will provide didactic presentations and panel discussions to address persisting challenges in the management of SCD, the burden of disease, and provide guidance to integrate current and emerging management strategies into the clinic to enhance patient care and quality of life measures. Patient perspective videos will be utilized to further highlight the burden of SCD on mental health, quality of life, and its psychosocial impact. Current and emerging therapeutic options with the potential to limit disease burden and enhance quality of life will be evaluated for safety and efficacy to provide insight for their optimal integration into individualized treatment algorithms.
