This interview provides an exciting insight into the Translational Research Training in Hematology (TRTH) and the Clinical Research Training in Hematology (CRTH) programs, offered to junior hematology researchers and physicians. Speaking from the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting 2017 in Atlanta, GA, Felicitas Thol, MD, of Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany, describes her experience of the TRTH program. Provided by the European Hematology Association (EHA) and ASH, TRTH aims to promote the careers of young physicians and researchers in hematology. Dr Thol also explains how the CRTH program, offered by the EHA, teaches junior researchers the skills needed to develop investigator-initiated trials and clinical trials.
