Certificate in Cancer Immunotherapy

CP2_-_Copy.png

The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) is pleased to offer physicians and qualified healthcare providers the opportunity to earn a Certificate in Cancer Immunotherapy, supporting their knowledge and skills to provide effective and safe care for patients treated with cancer immunotherapy. Learners can expect to develop a comprehensive understanding of cancer immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, cell therapies and many others, as well as the management of side effects, allowing them to successfully implement immunotherapy in clinical practice.  

The Certificate in Cancer Immunotherapy consists of eight independent learning modules that can be stacked to earn the SITC Graduate in Cancer Immunotherapy (SITC-G) certificate. The SITC-G certificate identifies a healthcare provider as completing specialized training in cancer immunotherapy.  All modules are approved for CME, CNE, CPE and MOC credits, except where noted.
