Since 1999, ASH has distributed educational materials to institutions and cooperative groups in developing countries through its International Outreach Initiative (IOI). The goal of the IOI is to help address the hematology-related needs in research, practice, and training in developing areas of the world. The ASH International Members Committee oversees the IOI.
Educational materials that are distributed through the IOI include:
- An online subscription to Blood, the Journal of the American Society of Hematology, published weekly
- A CD containing a searchable database of the most recent ASH abstracts
- A DVD that features the audio-visual presentation of the education program and special lectures from the most recent annual meeting
- An online copy of the ASH Self-Assessment Program (ASH-SAP), a hematology reference with self-test questions and critiques
- A DVD from the most recent State-of-the-Art Symposium,
featuring the latest research and treatment options for hematologic
malignancies and platelet disorders
- A DVD from the most recent Highlights of ASH®,
highlighting analysis of the annual meeting abstracts and sessions, evolving
therapies, and the latest treatment options and their clinical applications.
* Travel grants formerly administered through this program are no longer available.
