After completion of the Minor, students are able to understand and explain the complexity of the hemostatic balance, both in theory and practice.

Regulation of Hemostasis is an essential part of daily clinical practice. Nowadays, more than 50% of the hospitalized patients are treated to prevent thrombotic complications. Most life‐threatening complications derive from thrombotic or bleeding events, and searching for the right balance can be a major challenge both for in‐hospital and out‐patient practice. Thrombosis and hemostasis is an area of continuing innovation and development.

In our minor we provide a translational approach for you to get involved in the magic world of hemostasis. You will get possibilities to integrate your newly acquired knowledge in practice by patient interviewing together with hand‐on laboratory diagnostics. Training and coaching in personal presentation skills will be an integral part of the course.

You will be introduced to other stakeholders, like pharmaceutical industries and  patient organizations broadening your view. Finally, the course will challenge you to think out of the box with respect to the current therapeutic options; what to do with the giant possibilities with respect to genetics and personalized medicine?
