The IDEAL Workshop is designed for a small multidisciplinary group of health care providers to improve understanding and management of lung cancer. In the workshop, trainees will interact with other disciplines to better appreciate the key practical considerations and limitations of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in NSCLC.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Describe the role of tumor biomarkers and biomarker-driven therapy in the personalized care of patients with NSCLC
• Describe and demonstrate the cognitive knowledge or technical skills required to obtain an adequate tissue sample for NSCLC diagnosis and classification
• Identify current biomarkers utilized to categorize molecular and histologic features of NSCLC and their relevant applications for diagnosis, monitoring, and personalized care
• Compare and contrast data on various therapeutic options for NSCLC in late-stage development
• Articulate how molecular and histologic pathology data guides diagnosis and treatment decisions
• Assess how comorbidities and treatment side effects can influence treatment decisions
• Identify a NSCLC coordinated care plan among interdisciplinary colleagues and develop a plan for implementation
