Plain Language Summary: A survey of physicians who completed a hemostasis and thrombosis (H&T) fellowship found that many were motivated to pursue additional specialized training because of their interest in bleeding and clotting disorders, opportunities for research, and the desire to build expertise in a growing field. Participants reported that fellowship training improved their clinical skills, research experience, and career opportunities.
The findings suggest that H&T fellowship programs play an important role in training specialists and addressing workforce shortages in bleeding and clotting disorders, helping ensure patients have access to expert care.
