Description
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) Visitor Training Program builds hematology capacity in low- and middle-income countries through focused training on a specific topic or technique. Hematologists and hematology-related health care professionals receive supervised training in an ASH member’s clinic or laboratory, addressing a defined need at their home institution.
The program emphasizes practical skills that participants can implement after returning home to improve hematology patient care. Host mentors and institutions may be located anywhere in the world. Training must be supported by the equipment, supplies, and infrastructure available at the participant’s home institution. Individual research projects are not supported.
