APHOES
The Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Educational Specialists
Multiple Disciplines, One Mission
The Association of Pediatric Hematology Oncology Educational Specialists (APHOES) is a group of professional (nurses, psychologists, social workers, child life specialists, school and hospital-based educators, physicians and others) that work together to address the educational needs of pediatric hematology and oncology patients. The group first convened in November 2005 out of a shared desire to improve the educational outcomes of pediatric hematology and oncology patients and to standardize the methods that yield positive outcomes. Since that time, APHOES members have gathered several times to draft and refine these standards, to network with other professionals and to collaborate on projects. APHOES began offering professional development opportunities at the working group meetings which has evolved into an annual conference with a robust presentation agenda.
