FACT Inspector Workshop for Immune Effector CellsFriday, December 2, 2016 Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego 1 Market Pl [map] San Diego, CA 92101 |
FACT has published draft Standards for programs administering immune effector cells used to elicit an immune response for therapeutic intent, such as dendritic cells, natural killer cells, T cells, and B cells. This includes chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) and therapeutic vaccines. These Standards are intended to promote quality in administration of immune effector cells and will be incorporated into a voluntary FACT accreditation in this field.
FACT depends on volunteer experts to visit programs and assess their compliance with the Standards. This peer-review approach keeps FACT accreditation credible, relevant, and useful. We are excited to announce that we are now accepting inspector applications for our new accreditation service for immune effector cell programs, anticipated to begin in early 2017.
Physicians wishing to train to become an inspector for the FACT Immune Effector Cell Accreditation Program must meet prerequisite education and experience requirements, submit a satisfactory inspector application, attend an in-person training workshop, view online videos, and complete a test on the requirements.
This workshop is an important part of the training process. Attendees will learn about the mission of FACT, principles of FACT Standards, the accreditation process, and basic inspection techniques.
An approved inspector application is required for registration. To apply to become an inspector, submit an online application at http://www.factwebsite.org/Become_An_Inspector/Apply_to_be_a_FACT_Inspector.aspx.
