Hematology-related training programs receive increased support

Date:7/8/2008

(WASHINGTON, July 8, 2008) The American Society of Hematology (ASH) is proud to announce the inaugural recipients of its Alternative Training Pathway Grant. The grant is given to training program directors to encourage the development and implementation of novel hematology-related training programs.

Thomas Abshire, MD, of Emory University, Donald Mahoney Jr., MD, of Baylor College of Medicine, and David Sternberg, MD, PhD, of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, will each receive the grant from ASH this July in recognition of the need for more clinicians and clinical/translational researchers in hematology-related disciplines.

"The new curricula that these recipients develop will produce clinicians and clinician-scientists with the necessary skills to apply the new technologies made available through advancing medical sciences for the management of complex hematologic problems," said ASH President Kenneth Kaushansky, MD, of the University of California - San Diego School of Medicine.

Each recipient's curriculum will integrate new advances and technologies into traditional hematology training programs. Recognizing the need for greater clinical and research training in the area of adult and pediatric benign hematology, Dr. Abshire's grant will support training for residents in medicine/pediatric programs, as well as adult hematology and transfusion medicine fellows. Dr. Mahoney's training program will use the grant to address the lack of physicians with cross-cutting expertise in the areas of thrombosis, clinical trial design, and pharmacology by providing a training pathway concentrated in these areas. Dr. Sternberg will receive a grant to support a unique fellowship training program in hematology/oncology and palliative medicine, which will produce hematologists with the skills needed to treat patients with chronic hematologic diseases.
