Preview of the 17th edition of the ESH-EBMT Training Course on Blood and Marrow Transplantation

25th - 28th April 2013

Syracuse in Sicily will host the next ESH-EBMT Training Course on Haemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation at the newly appointed venue, the Grand Hotel Minareto.

Every year, the ESH-EBMT Training Course provides a comprehensive training in all aspects of autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation and comprises a mixture of formal lectures, case presentations by attendees and faculty, meet-the-expert breakfasts and dinner table discussions. For each topic an explanation of the basic principles is provided, followed by development of the subject through to the most recent advances in understanding and management.

The objective of the course is to give opportunity to the attendees to have close contact and lively interaction with the teachers and the group in a nice setting. The speakers are chosen not only for their expertise in their subject but also for their teaching skills and willingness to discuss the field of transplant in both formal and informal settings.

The course is suitable for physicians at all stages of their career and is particularly useful for those in training, for those who wish to develop their current practice to a more challenging type of transplant and also as an update for established transplanters.
