American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Guidelines for Fellowship Training in Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Immune Effector Cell Therapy.

Rapid advances in the field of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), as well as the advent of immune effector cell therapy (IEC), have resulted in an increasing number of patients undergoing these therapies and an increasing level of expertise required to manage them. Previous guidelines for the training of HCT physicians were last published in 2012. In recognition of the expanding knowledge base and increasing skill set essential to the delivery of these treatment modalities, the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Committee on Education has updated these guidelines to reflect nearly a decade of new knowledge in the field of HCT, as well as the evolution of IEC from an experimental modality to a widely used and mainstream therapy. The resulting document reflects the Committee on Education's recommended educational structure for programs engaged in the training, evaluation, and mentorship of HCT/IEC trainees.
