International course in hemophilia now open for new applications

2008-06-25

The one week long course targets physicians from all over the world, with the aim of improving their knowledge and skills in this area (many of the participants aiming for this as their future speciality).

Sweden has a long tradition in the field of hemophilia care. New diagnostic methods in the field of molecular biology and treatments in the form of prophylactic and inhibitor treatment have led to great demand for the acquisition of new knowledge to enable the optimal and cost-effective use of these new treatment principles. The course will present and discuss the latest developments in research into all aspects of hemophilia and give recommendations.

The international faculty is headed by Prof Erik Berntorp who is also the head of the Clinical Coagulation Research Unit.

Closing date for applications is July 14 2008.
