Enhancing Apheresis Knowledge: An Educational Intervention for Non‐Apheresis Medical Providers

A knowledge gap exists between apheresis medicine (AM) physicians and providers who request the service, presenting challenges when coordinating care. We investigated an educational intervention consisting of a 40-min in-person evidence-based lecture for neurology residents, neurology attending physicians, and nephrology fellows. Pre-/post-testing demonstrated substantially improved understanding of apheresis mechanics, indications, complications, and patient consent. We advocate for more educational sessions about AM for the non-apheresis providers to increase awareness about apheresis and foster collaborative interdisciplinary efforts.
