Developing Resources for Hematologists
ASH released an array of new and updated resources this year, unified by a drive to expand knowledge and support professionals working in hematology. Whether for clinicians, researchers, educators, or trainees in hematology, ASH provides resources that enhance knowledge and boost professional growth.
Fostering Genomic Data Exploration
The ASH HematOmics Program, launched in 2025, provides access to comprehensive whole genome and transcriptome sequencing datasets to empower hematology researchers and clinicians to explore genomic variants, interpret clinical correlations, and uncover therapeutic targets across blood diseases.
Hematology Education and Clinical Guidelines
Advancing Learning on Demand
ASH Academy added to its robust portfolio of courses, webcasts, and other offerings and laid the groundwork for the March 2026 debut of a completely new ASH Academy.
Tackling the Iron Deficiency Challenge
ASH hosted an Iron Deficiency Summit in September 2025, advancing its Iron Deficiency Initiative. Draft ASH guidelines on the diagnosis of iron deficiency were made available for public comment in October. The guidelines and a summit blueprint with calls to action will be published in 2026.
“I am so confident and optimistic about the outcome — how this summit’s going to help our patients. When you bring everybody in the same room, with the support from ASH, it is really a beautiful thing.”
Expanding Clinical Guidelines
The collection of ASH Clinical Practice Guidelines grew with ASH-ISTH Updated Guidelines for Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism in Pediatric Patients and 2025 Guidelines for Treating Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Older Adults.
“The reason it’s important to use guidelines, the reason these guidelines were developed, is to help clinicians provide the best possible care.”
“It’s absolutely critical that we have rigorous guidelines developed for the treatment of these relatively rare hematologic disorders like acute myeloid leukemia.”

Enhancing Engagement and Learning
In 2025, ASH introduced a new way for those interested in hematology to absorb innovative education on social media. The ASH Education social media channels focused on microlearning across three platforms: Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. With quizzes and other interactive features—such as #ASHTriviaTuesday and #ASHWomenWednesday — ASH Education often uses a game-like approach to bolster engagement and learning.

Advancing Self-Learning in Hematology
Designed for self-learning and review, the American Society of Hematology Self-Assessment Program, Ninth Edition was released. In addition, the Society also offered the ASH Hematology Review Series to help fellows prepare for the internal medicine hematology certification exam.
