The latest online educational activity from Medscape, “The Nurse View: Nursing Considerations for Children with Hemophilia,” became available on June 16, 2015.

The purpose of the activity is to discuss the challenges inherent in assessing and treating children with hemophilia from a nursing perspective. The broader aim of the program is to develop approaches to health management that emphasize effective communication and collaboration between the healthcare team, patient and caregiver. The activity is intended for nurses, hematologists, pediatricians and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with hemophilia.

This activity is part of Clinical Advances in Hemophilia: Management for Life, a series of educational activities provided by leading bleeding disorders clinicians. The overarching goal of the program is to increase the knowledge, skills and competence of clinicians in providing individualized management of hemophilia.

The series is presented through a strategic collaboration between the National Hemophilia Foundation and Medscape Education Hematology, and supported by an independent educational grant from Biogen. After completing the activities within this program, available for one year from their release date, those eligible may receive free continuing education (CE) or continuing medical education (CME) credits.
