ASH Launches Hematology Web Focus A Unique Resource for Clinicians

Hematology Web Focus is a digital publication of focused, clinically relevant topics in benign and malignant hematology. A prominent expert in the field of each Web Focus topic will select the most timely and relevant published articles that will enhance the clinicians understanding of and ability to effectively treat the disease topic. An overview outlining the highlighted topic and providing insight for the collected articles will introduce each Web Focus topic. A key feature of the Hematology Web Focus is that the published articles are immediately accessible by clicking on the reference number. Thus, ASH's Hematology Web Focus will provide a service and unique resource for busy clinicians who need organized access to selected content. Hematology Web Focus will be published quarterly and each focus will be updated regularly.

Hematology Web Focus is free to ASH members and subscribers to Blood. To access the site, please log in with your ASH account information.
