EHA Pediatric Course 2019

EHA Pediatric Course 2019 is organized by European Hematology Association (EHA) and will be held from Apr 03 - 06, 2019 at Grand Hotel Riviera, Sorrento, Campania, Italy.

Course Description:
Pediatric Hemato-Oncology is a very specialized branch of hematology. It is one of the paradigm hematology sub-specialties for consideration at a European level since there are too few specialists and trainees to organize training on a national level within each individual country. Seeing the importance of continuing education in this field, there have been 8 EHA-affiliated Pediatric Hemato-Oncology courses produced since 2003. It is the only program of such nature available in Europe and the same course organizers hope to continue with it in 2019.

The course philosophy of the EHA Pediatric Course 2019 is to solve real clinical cases linking basic science to the clinic. The course organizers aim to create a friendly and informal atmosphere to encourage exchange of scientific ideas for ongoing and future projects.

• Leukemia (ALL, AML, MDS)
