Trainees have the opportunity to meet with leaders in the field. Trainees sign up for a one-on-one Blood Buddy ten-minute mentoring session with a faculty member. Blood Buddies are experts in various hematology topic areas. This is an excellent opportunity for trainees to network with and receive mentorship from seasoned faculty. There are 3 Blood Buddies sessions at the event.
