Continuing Medical Education

Haematologica/The Hematology Journal is owned by a non-profit organization, the Ferrata Storti Foundation. The aim of the Foundation is to stimulate and promote the study and research on diseases of the blood and their treatment by supporting the journal and by promoting continuing medical education in clinical hematology.The monthly Continuing Medical Education (CME) program is designed for physicians who wish to advance their current knowledge of clinical hematology. In order to participate in this program, physicians must be one of the following:
a) a member of the European Hematology Association (EHA); b) a member of the Italian Society of Hematology (SIE); c) a member of the Spanish Society of Hematology (AEHH); or d) an individual subscriber to the print journal or the online journal.

The online CME program has been approved by the European Hematology CME System (ECAH: EUR/02/C/F/TH-84902) of the European Hematology Association (EHA).
The system has designated participation in the CME program as worth one hour of credit for any exam passed. Four exams will be available each month, and the total number of credits that any participant can earn in a year is 48. To participate in the monthly CME program, registered physicians are invited to read a specific question and any article indicated in this question, and then choose the single best answer. Answers are automatically registered in the CME program database. After answering a question, participants are automatically provided with the correct response and additional clarifications in order to improve their knowledge of clinical hematology further. Participants should complete a program evaluation form within February 10th of each year and will then receive by e-mail their certificates of the credits obtained, as PDF documents. Haematologica/The Hematology Journal assumes that each physician personally participates in the online CME program and provides the answers, and therefore that he or she claims only the hours of credit actually spent in this educational activity.
