Training program directors are invited to participate in a half-day workshop held each year on the Thursday before the ASH annual meeting (associate program directors, or others involved with hematology training are also welcome!). A regular feature of the Workshop is an informative presentation by the Chair of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's (ACGME) Review Committee for Internal Medicine. The following includes the 2009 Training Program Directors' Workshop program and presentations. Be sure to mark your calendar for the next Workshop on December 2, 2010, in Orlando, FL.
