"Challenges in the Management of Hemophilia in Adults,” a new online education opportunity from Medscape, is now available. This activity is part of Clinical Advances in Hemophilia: Management for Life, an educational series 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.

This activity, which is intended for hematologists, nurses, primary care practitioners and other healthcare professionals who treat adults with hemophilia, is to examine optimal strategies for managing clinical challenges in this patient population. Participants who complete the program will be able to: 1) Identify the risks associated with managing adults with hemophilia, including uncontrolled bleeding and surgery; 2) Discuss strategies for providing optimal care for young adult patients with hemophilia; 3) Outline common risks for patients with hemophilia who are undergoing surgery, and strategies to minimize bleeding before and after surgery.

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.
