Mass General achieved, for the second time, accreditation for the Transition to Practice Program by the American Nursing Credentialing Center’s Practice to Transition Accreditation Program (PTAP). The Transition to Practice (TPP) has welcomed over 800 newly licensed nurses since our last accreditation four years ago. Since our first accreditation in Spring 2020, Mass General has welcomed over 850 nurse residents. Jen Curran, DNP, RN, NPD-BD, the program director of Mass General’s TPP, stated, “Our TPP results from a collective effort by many people at Mass General who work collaboratively. The accreditation of the TPP ensures that all newly licensed nurses can experience a robust residency program focused on nursing excellence, makes the transition from student to independent Registered Nurse easier and improves patient outcomes.”

Marcela Maus, MD, PhD, director of the Cellular Immunotherapy Program, and Bryan Choi, MD, PhD, associate director of Brain Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy, are changing the way glioblastoma is treated with a next generation CAR T therapy research study. They are infusing genetically modified white blood cells directly into the fluid surrounding the brain. The second patient in the trial, Tom Fraser from upstate New York, was given just six months to live before he was introduced to the trial. It has now been almost three years since his initial diagnosis. Read more about the trial and Tom's story from New York Magazine: http://spklr.io/6040SsK6
