Education | strategic goal 2014-2018 Where do we come from? - Education remains one of the strongholds of EHA’s activities. - In the past five years: - consolidated major achievements and continued to strive for lifelong learning in hematology - by offering peer-reviewed, high quality and unbiased educational tools in various formats - suitable for different target groups - with the European Hematology Curriculum as the backbone of this program.
Education: what the Board said (Retreat April 2018) Major Points of Expansion ELC & focus blended Many competitors on the achievements attention learning market. Excellence and exclusivity are key. Updated Curriculum Keeping up with IT Introduction Hematology Exam developments, limited Expansion & new strategy possibilities to develop outreach program material & manpower Strong congress program Lack of position in ‘guidelines’ world Mentoring & Education Award Launch Topics-in-Focus programs Guidelines project
Education Committee ➢ September 2018 : first discussion on translating EHA’s overall strategy into a strategy on education including developing tactics and tools -> presented at the October 2018 Board meeting. ➢ October – December 2018: continues discussions & development of plans ➢ January 2019: second discussion on especially tools (programs) that serve EHA’s strategy. This Board Meeting > presentation plans
Plan Education Committee: foundations ‒ Evaluations learning tools & programs ‒ Statistics EHA Learning Center ‒ Expertise Education Committee & sub Committees ‒ Outcome EHA Membership survey ( see next 2 slides ) ‒ Directions from the EHA Board ‒ Needs assessment & discussions outreach partners
Member survey results on Education ‒ Being part of EHA community is very important for all members. • Members mainly involved in research more likely become members for discounts on the annual congress fees. • Members involved in clinical practice are mainly motivated for access in EHA Learning Center. ‒ Members see EHA’s main purpose as providing education , followed by the organization of congresses and meetings
Member survey results on Education ‒ EHA is particularly appreciated for its congress, meetings, educational & networking opportunities; ‒ Top reasons to become an EHA member 230 1.

Eligibility for EHA’s Mentoring Programs 301 meetings (CRTH, TRTH)
EHA’s vision on Learning EHA should be the home base of continuous medical education for a broad audience of hematology professionals. EHA’s medical education program should be engaging and motivate the learners to become part of the EHA Community. EHA’s medical education program should be open to less resourced countries by offering education based on their needs.
Education | Tactics We will reach this by: - Having an excellent online learning program as the basis for all EHA Education: - offering high quality content on a wide variety of topics, with a comprehensive program as a basis - matching different learning styles (online, offline, combination (blended)) - Serving clinicians and researchers - Offering an interesting program of in-depth meetings (through SGWs) - Strive for harmonization in hematology education by: - Updating & promoting the EHA Hematology Curriculum - Organizing & promoting a European Hematology Exam - Serving different target groups and less resourced countries (outreach) - Strong and continuous promotion

Challenges Challenge #1 To guarantee a continuous supply of content Challenge #2 To efficiently and continuously create high quality online learning materials based on a solid content management plan Challenge #3 To attract also researchers to the EHA Campus
Challenge #1 To guarantee a continuous supply of content; approach All meetings EHA organizes will be recorded. Content to be used ‒ for creation of online learning tools. Third party content: actively approach supporters and relevant ‒ medical specialty organizations to share content (already collaboration with transfusionists and morphologists) Content creation ‒
Challenge #2 Content management plan: - 20 priority topics, already defined by Education Committee - Start with basic level knowledge - Expand learning formats (webinars, games, etc) - Utilize experts mainly for providing outlines/directions and reviewing and testing - Work with professional companies for technical support and medical writing (e.g. course questions). Companies already identified.
Challenge #2 20 priority topics, defined by Education Committee on January 10. ‒ Miscellaneous low grade ‒ Geriatric hematology ‒ Iron deficiency / Iron lymphomas (mantle cell, SLVL etc) metabolism / Hemochromatosis ‒ Autoimmune cytopenia /Secondary iron overload ‒ Immunophenotyping (technique ‒ Difficult hemorrhagic disorders and applications) ‒ Hereditary hemolytic anemias ‒ Infections in haematological (non-immune) ‒ Diagnostic work up of Acute disorders leukemias ‒ Macroangiopathic anemia, ‒ Bleeding disorders: acquired TTP/HUS ‒ Cytogenetics and molecular and inherited diagnostics (The techniques and ‒ Autoimmune hemolytic anemia ‒ Cellular therapies(other than their applications) ‒ Follicular lymphoma CARt) ‒ Diagnostic work up of ‒ CARt lymphoproliferative disorders ‒ Haemoglobinopathies Estimated investment: ‒ Consultative hematology ‒ Antibody treatment of HM (pregnancy, surgery etc.) Content development ‒ MRD (techniques and applications) € 50.000, - per topic x 20 topics = € 1.000.000, -
Challenge #3 to attract also researchers to the …. EHA Research Campus

EHA Research Campus Target audience: researchers Excellence programs with mentoring (TRTH and CRTH) - Experimental Research Campus Didactics online or live - Clinical Research Campus Basic online training
Goal of the EHA Clinical Research Campus To improve the quality of clinical hematology research in Europe and beyond by providing education accessible to a wide(r) audience, filling a need in the hematology community.
EHA Clinical Research Campus CRTH • in depth knowledge • didactics CRT • comprehensive • mentorship • in depth knowledge • skills training • didactics • top talents only GCP • modules or whole program • CRTO is prerequisite • Online: CRTO or • Basic training online • Live: CRTL • for anyone with an interest and with GCP Existing program To be developed by task force
Priorities for new modules driven by • The need of applicants • CRTH to have prework to alleviate the intensity of the November workshop • Results of the membership survey indicating that funding is the biggest challenge for researchers
Topics for e-course development • Driven by the need of applicants and membership survey for all researchers: 1. Practical tips on writing a good grant 2. How to get your work published in HemaSphere and other journals • Driven by the need for CRTH: 3. Patient retention 4. Bias 5. Biobanking • Driven by the workflow for designing and running a clinical trial 6. Roadmap with pop up text, written by CRTH alumni/faculty (next slide)
