THROMBOSIS AND HEMOSTASIS SCHOOL
INFORMATION
At the initiative of the “Benign Hematology Bulgaria” Foundation, the THROMBOSIS AND HEMOSTASIS SCHOOL will take place from March 20 to 22, 2026, at Hotel Calista, Stara Zagora Mineral Baths. The Foundation aims to support the professional growth of healthcare specialists, particularly when such development directly benefits patient care.
While some medical students begin their studies with a clear idea of the specialty they wish to pursue, others are still exploring their options. Research shows that only about a quarter of students who enter medical school with a specific specialty in mind maintain that choice throughout their education.
At every stage of a medical career, mentorship and guidance from experienced specialists can inspire motivation, clarify career paths, and reveal new opportunities. This project aims to promote clinical hematology and enhance practical training during the final two years of medical education.
The initiative is organized by the “Benign Hematology Bulgaria” Foundation with the support of the Specialized Hospital for Active Treatment of Hematological Diseases – Sofia and the Association of Medical Students in Bulgaria.
