第五届年度治疗Apheresis学院是一个为期两天半的教育会议，于2012年9月20日至22日在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔的弗吉尼亚大学举行。与过去几年一样，大会继续履行其使命，向从事血液分离医学实践的人提供基本的实用教育。听众包括来自该国所有地区(美国)的参与分离医学的医生和专职保健人员，以及来自近至墨西哥和远至非洲的一些国际地点的人员。他们来自提供分离治疗的各种医学亚专业，包括肾病学家、病理学家、血液学家和输血医学从业者。来自全国各地的专家以及尼日利亚自动化分离技术的新近采用者审查了关于分离的各个方面的已发表文献，包括仪器、反应和并发症、血管通路以及血浆交换在各种疾病中的使用。演讲者还讨论了他们为接受分离治疗的患者提供护理和管理的实际日常经验。与往年一样，本期《临床脱落学杂志》(图1)[1，2]对治疗性脱落学会的教育内容进行了总结。第5届Apheresis学院的新内容是，该教育项目是与美国Apheresis学会(ASFA)合作开发的。ASFA是一个由医生、科学家和专职卫生专业人员组成的专业协会，其使命是通过教育、循证实践、研究和倡导来促进分离医学的发展。ASFA正式成立于1982年，是在芝加哥地区举行的年度“最先进”分离研讨会的副产品[3，4]。这个主要为医生和科学家设计的年度研讨会于1979年首次举行，与血液分离专家学会(SHS)成立同年[5]。SHS是一个联合健康专业人员协会，其目标是促进血液分离专家之间的交流，制定该行业的标准，并发布有关分离的技术指导[4]。ASFA和SHS于1996年合并，形成了一个充满活力、开放和包容的分离医学从业者社会。在过去的30年里，ASFA通过年度和区域会议、每月网络研讨会、教科书和出版物提供从业者教育，为分离医学的实践做出了贡献。它提供了关于报销、程序文件、医生资格和专职卫生人员资格的指导[6]。最重要的是，ASFA发布了临床实践中使用分离的循证指南[7-10]。鉴于ASFA在培养分离从业者方面的30年的作用，以及治疗分离学院5年在培训开始从事分离医学职业的医生方面的重要贡献，这两个组织之间的合作加强了这两个组织，提高了主治者的能力，包括医生和相关保健人员，并改善了患者护理。首页--期刊主要分类--期刊细介绍--期刊题录与文摘--期刊详细文摘内容
The 5th annual Therapeutic Apheresis Academy was a two and a half day educational conference at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia held September 20th through the 22nd, 2012. As in years past, the conference continued in its mission to provide basic, practical education to those involved in the practice of apheresis medicine. The audience included both physicians and allied health personnel involved in apheresis medicine from all regions of the country (USA) and some from international locations from as near as Mexico and as far as Africa. They were from a variety of medical subspecialties that provide apheresis therapy including nephrologists, pathologists, hematologists, and transfusion medicine practitioners. Experts from throughout the country as well as recent adopters of automated apheresis technology from Nigeria reviewed the published literature on a variety of aspects of apheresis including instrumentation, reactions and complications, vascular access, and the use of plasma exchange in a variety of diseases. The presenters also discussed their practical day to day experiences providing care for and management of patients undergoing apheresis treatment. As in previous years, the educational content of the Therapeutic Apheresis Academy is summarized in this issue of the Journal of Clinical Apheresis (Figure 1) [1,2]. New to the 5th annual Therapeutic Apheresis Academy is that the educational program was developed in cooperation with the American Society for Apheresis (ASFA). ASFA is a professional society of physicians, scientists, and allied health professionals whose mission is to advance apheresis medicine through education, evidence-based practice, research, and advocacy. ASFA was officially founded in 1982 as an outgrowth of an annual “state-of the art” apheresis symposium held in the Chicago area [3,4]. The annual symposium, designed primarily for physicians and scientists, was first held in 1979, the same year as the founding of the Society for Hemapheresis Specialists (SHS) [5]. SHS was a society of allied health professionals whose goals were to promote communication among hemapheresis specialists, develop standards for the profession, and publish technical guidance on apheresis [4]. ASFA and SHS merged in 1996 to form a vibrant, open, and inclusive society of apheresis medicine practitioners. Over the past 30 years, ASFA has contributed to the practice of apheresis medicine by providing practitioner education through annual and regional meetings, monthly webinars, textbooks, and publications. It has provided guidance on reimbursement, procedure documentation, physician qualification, and allied health staff qualification [6]. Most importantly, ASFA has published evidence-based guidelines on the use of apheresis in clinical practice [7–10]. Given the 30 year role of ASFA in educating apheresis practitioners and the important contributions of 5 years of the Therapeutic Apheresis Academy in training physicians starting their careers in apheresis medicine, the collaboration between these two strengthens both organizations and enhances the abilities of those attending, both physicians and allied health, and improves patient care.
