ASH Hematology-Focused Fellowship Training Program (HFFTP) 2022
Applications are now open for the ASH Hematology-Focused Fellowship Training Program (HFFTP) 2022. The Fellowship training Program 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.
As part of ASH’s mission of fostering high-quality, equitable care, transformative research, and innovative education to improve the lives of patients with blood and bone marrow disorders, ASH is making a substantial commitment to address the shortage of hematologists through the ASH HFFTP, which will provide critical education, mentorship, and research opportunities for fellows interested in pursuing careers in hematology.

Together, ASH and the nine awarded Institutions aim to advance hematology education, science, and research, and improve the lives of everyone faced with a blood disease, today and in the future. Explore their hematology focused fellowship tracks.
