Annual Young NOPHO meeting
Young NOPHO (YN) was founded to work with issues of special interest for physicians-in-training and junior researchers, who pursue a career in paediatric Haematology & Oncology in the frame of the NOPHO society.
This includes:
- to engage young physicians in research through participation in working groups i.e. being national study coordinators in collaborative studies
- to strengthen the network among young workers in the field, both physicians and researchers
- continuous development of the formalized educational program in Haematology & Oncology for paediatricians.
In recent years, many activities have been initiated by the YN that focus especially on education and collaborations within NOPHO. In this interest, we revised the structure of our annual YN meetings in 2015 to further improve our goal to communicate new results and facilitate collaborations in the Nordic and Baltic countries. To continue with the great success of our last meetings, we are preparing a program for our next annual meeting in 2017.
The meeting will include talks given by experts in the field, but also giving young researchers/clinicians the possibility to present their work. The topic will focus on AML treatment and survival, late effect clinics and on practical issues for PhD students. Our topics will therefore partially in line with the topic of the annual NOPHO meeting. Our hope is to organize yet another successful meeting, further increase in YN work and improve our Nordic and Baltic collaborations.
