Target Audience
The primary target audience for this initiative consists of hematologists and other hemophilia providers.

Statement of Need/Program Overview
Successful management of hemophilia is dependent on highly specialized, interdisciplinary care, with coordination among various health care providers (HCPs). Research and a burgeoning body of literature have resulted in a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of hemophilia as well as the intrinsic mechanisms that establish hemostasis. In turn, the therapeutic armamentarium has expanded tremendously over the past several years, necessitating education to fully elucidate the appropriate use of emerging agents to optimize outcomes. To effectively disseminate recent findings and facilitate optimal disease management, hematologists and other HCPs require comprehensive education that increases knowledge and competence in several key areas.
