Abstract

Unique expertise is required for the care of children, adolescents, and young adults with bleeding and clotting disorders. A number of Hemophilia Treatment Centers have developed pediatric hemostasis and thrombosis fellowship programs to facilitate subspecialty training and recruitment and retention in this field. This manuscript reviews an approach to training pediatric coagulationists including a description of current programs, sample curriculum, funding sources, and expected outcomes.

Keywords: hemostasis; thrombosis; training program.
