Multiple Myeloma Rounds ®
- The Multiple Myeloma Rounds are Temporarily Going Virtual!
- A CHANGE OF PLANS
- During the last four years the Multiple Myeloma Rounds® has become a venerable source of continuing education by providing clinicians the opportunity to exchange information, network with their colleagues, share best practices, and learn the latest information on new therapies and advances in the management of multiple myeloma.
- In keeping with this spirit of clinical excellence, the Multiple Myeloma Rounds® National Committee has developed a response to address the current challenges presented by the COVID-19 social distancing protocols. To guarantee the safety of all the healthcare providers who participate in the Multiple Myeloma Rounds® activities and to uphold the integrity of the live-in person meetings, the committee has developed a live virtual format that will provide participants with a unique, interactive learning experience. We hope that you will register to participate in this live virtual meeting activity. We look forward to your participation in this program as well as a return to normalcy and meeting you all in-person for future activities.

- About the Multiple Myeloma Rounds®
In 2016, Dr. Agne Paner and her colleagues at several institutions in the Chicago area joined together to form the Chicago Multiple Myeloma Rounds Committee. Their collaborative effort led to the implementation of four Multiple Myeloma Rounds programs that were held in the Chicago area in 2016.
As a result of the success of the Chicago Multiple Myeloma Rounds, the Committee decided to expand the program to other multiple myeloma communities around the country.
This program will continue to provide a forum for local healthcare professionals to meet on a regular basis and address issues specific to the diagnosis and treatment of their multiple myeloma patients.
The Multiple Myeloma Rounds provides an opportunity for participants to exchange information, network with their colleagues, share best practices and learn the latest information on new therapies and advances in the management of multiple myeloma through interactive case studies presented by experts in the local area.
Please join us at one of the upcoming events!
