This year ASH is initiating a new annual meeting program focused on clinicians in private practice. These sessions, known as “Practice Makes Perfect,” will provide an opportunity for a limited number of attendees to meet with experts in an interactive session. ASH has invited practitioners with expertise and experience in topics of interest in the practice setting. The speakers will discuss each topic and provide ample time for attendees to present their questions and gain new perspectives. A boxed lunch will be provided.
