European Hematology Curriculum
Harmonizing hematology knowledge is part of our mission.
In 2006, we developed the first European Hematology Curriculum—designed to aid training in hematology by defining the:
- Different areas of expertise that trainees should cover
- Minimum recommended levels of competence in these areas
Since then, we’ve updated this invaluable resource in light of advancements in research, diagnostic tools, and novel treatment modalities. The curriculum was last revised in 2023.
