Hematology Fellows and Junior Faculty Participate in 2016 ASH Clinical Research Training Institute in Latin America
(WASHINGTON – April 29, 2016) The American Society of Hematology (ASH) has announced the names of 27 hematologists participating in the 2016 ASH Clinical Research Training Institute in Latin America (CRTI-LA). This education and mentorship program was held on April 27-28, 2016, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, prior to the Society’s Highlights of ASH meeting in Latin America. This program is designed to prepare current hematology fellows and junior faculty members working in Latin America for careers in clinical research.
During the two-day program, ASH member experts from around the world introduced CRTI-LA participants to the fundamentals of clinical trial design through educational sessions on topics such as biostatistics, developing clinical research questions, and writing an abstract and manuscript for publication. Small group breakout sessions allowed participants to network and discuss potential projects one-on-one with CRTI-LA faculty.
“ASH is pleased to provide hematologists in Latin America with this unique opportunity to advance their clinical research careers and improve hematology care in the region with the help of an ASH mentor,” said ASH President Charles S. Abrams, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania.
