Are you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or disconnected? You're not alone—burnout is a widespread challenge among pediatric hematology/oncology providers.

Join us for an engaging and practical webinar that will explore factors contributing to stress and identify ways to bolster professional fulfillment. Learn how communication skills, grounded in models like Stanford's WELLMD, can serve as powerful tools to boost resilience, foster empathy, and create a more fulfilling work environment. Hear real-world stories, share your experiences, and explore innovative strategies—such as mindfulness, boundary-setting, and relational communication—that you can apply immediately.

This session isn't just about understanding burnout; it's about empowering you with actionable techniques to protect your wellbeing, improve your interactions, and thrive in your demanding role.

Let's work together to reignite a healthier, more compassionate, and sustainable hematology/oncology community.

Program Synopsis:
This program will focus on an ultra-rare bleeding disorder, Hereditary Factor X Deficiency (HFXD). Attendees will learn more about this severe bleeding disorder, including symptoms, testing, and unique severity scale. During this session, Dr. Singleton will also discuss the burden of disease, current treatment landscape, considerations for patient management, and the role of single-factor replacement, COAGADEX, in the treatment of HFXD.

Indications and Usage for COAGADEX
COAGADEX, a plasma-derived blood coagulation factor X concentrate, is indicated in adults and children with hereditary factor X deficiency for:

• Routine prophylaxis to reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes
• On-demand treatment and control of bleeding episodes
• Perioperative management of bleeding in patients with mild, moderate and severe hereditary factor X deficiency

Contraindication for COAGADEX
COAGADEX is contraindicated in patients who have had life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions to COAGADEX.

Important Safety Information for COAGADEX
Allergic type hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, are possible with COAGADEX. If symptoms occur, patients should discontinue use of the product immediately, contact their physician, and administer appropriate treatment.

The formation of neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) to factor X is a possible complication in the management of individuals with factor X deficiency. Carefully monitor patients taking COAGADEX for the development of inhibitors by appropriate clinical observations and laboratory tests.

COAGADEX is made from human plasma and may contain infectious agents, e.g. viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) agent and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, vCJD or CJD, have been associated with the use of COAGADEX.

In clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions (frequency ≥5% of subjects) with COAGADEX were infusion site erythema, infusion site pain, fatigue and back pain.

Please see complete Prescribing Information for COAGADEX.
