UW Awarded Hematology-Focused Fellowship Training Program

The American Society of Hematology (ASH) Hematology-Focused Fellowship training Program (HFFTP) is an exclusive pathway that offers physicians the opportunity to pair comprehensive classical hematology training with career-enhancing education in transfusion medicine, sickle cell disease, hemostasis/thrombosis, as well as fields like medical education, systems-based hematology,  outcomes research, health equity research, global health, safety/quality improvement, lifespan hematology, and more.

Funded entirely by ASH, 10 new hematology-focused fellowship tracks have been created within existing hematology-oncology programs at nine rigorously selected institutions accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) across the United States. HFFTP aims to strengthen the next generation of hematologists, with the goal of producing 50 new academic hematologists by 2030.

The UW HFFTP will be led by Hematology Professors Dr. Mike Linenberger, program director, and Dr. David Garcia, associate program director.
