The Training Program Director’s Workshop is held each year before the ASH annual meeting and is designed for training program directors, associate program directors, and others involved with hematology training. The workshop is designed for hematology program directors to share lessons learned, best practice, and explore opportunities to improve their leadership skills. Through experiential learning techniques, breakout sessions, and interactive lectures, program directors can learn from peers and build their network. At this year’s TPDW, we will focus on three opportune topics. First, we will discuss how to design and implement innovative curriculums which can prepare trainees to excel at various aspects of hematology oncology practice beyond just knowledge of the subject matter. Examples of such curriculums include ‘leadership training’, ‘how to be a good educator’, and ‘business of hematology-oncology’. Second, we will focus on best practices for a training program to leverage social media and build their ‘brand’. Lastly, we will discuss practical ways in which programs can help trainees land their dream job.
