30 minutes	Lunch (featuring The Patient Voice) To incorporate the patient/caregiver perspective, during lunch participants will hear from an MDS and/or AML patient.

1 hour	Practice-Based Learning Participants will be assigned to small workgroups. Each group will work as a team in the time allotted to discuss clinical evaluation, testing needed to narrow the differential diagnosis, bone marrow specimens, and treatment plans as applicable to their role in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of patients with AML.
1 hour	Workgroup Presentations and Q&A Each workgroup will present its patient care plan to the audience for feedback and discussion. Faculty will assess and evaluate each group’s presentation.
15 minutes	Learners Discuss Key Takeaways and Develop Action Plans Participants will revisit the key challenges identified at the beginning of the program, discuss what they have learned, and develop an action plan for incorporating the new knowledge and competence into practice.
