Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing

Christy Spalink, DNP, is a Clinical Assistant Professor and double board-certified Nurse Practitioner (Acute Care/Palliative Care) specializing in urgent oncologic complications.

📅 Date & Time: July 22, 2026 | 01:00–02:00 PM ET

Managing neutropenic fever in older adults with cancer presents unique clinical challenges due to age-related changes in immunity, atypical presentation of symptoms, and a higher risk of rapid clinical decline. This webinar provides an evidence-based roadmap for healthcare professionals to rapidly identify, risk-stratify, and manage febrile neutropenia in the geriatric population. Participants will explore age-specific diagnostic considerations, the integration of geriatric assessment principles into risk models, and clinical strategies to optimize antibiotic stewardship while minimizing treatment-related toxicity and healthcare-associated complications.
