They also intend to promote informal interaction between scientists and clinicians working in the field of hematology. The scientific program takes the participant through the diagnostic and clinical pathway. Plenary lectures alternate with interactive clinical case study and self-assessment sessions which use a Voting Box system conducive to lively discussions between speakers and participants. The faculty comprises leading hematologists highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of hematological malignancies with special expertise in the setting of retroviral infection.
