Abstract
Immunotherapy use is increasing in frequency among oncology patients as a single treatment or combined with chemotherapy. Immunotherapy related adverse events (IrAE) have unique presentations that are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. This IRB approved study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of microteaching on ED nurses and physicians' identification of IrAEs and timely initiation of definitive therapy.
