The GVHD Toolkit includes 6.5 hours of training for occupational and physical therapists, a course manual, evidence based treatment guidelines for OTs and PTs, and resources for clinicians, clients and caregivers. 

The GVHD Toolkit helps clinicians establish skills:
Knowledge of GVHD disease process/domains of concern
Appropriate interventions to address pain/participation/performance
Lead to increased client Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL)
