ICI Bootcamp Pre-Conference Workshop

Course Directors:


Casey A. Fazer-Posorske, P.A.-C.	Lisa A. Kottschade, APRN, C.N.P.

August 12, 2026 - Hilton Rochester Mayo Clinic Area - Rochester, Minnesota

Preconference Workshop deep diving Immunotherapy toxicity and management, will provide clinicians with a focused, organ-system-based review of immune checkpoint inhibitor toxicities. Despite the transformative benefits of ICIs in oncology, many healthcare providers struggle with recognizing early signs of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), differentiating these from other clinical conditions, and implementing timely, evidence-based management strategies. This workshop will close the gap by combining didactic presentations with case-based discussions to enhance knowledge, clinical reasoning, and confidence.
