Our virtual Blood Clot Education Group is a space to discuss all things related to thrombosis, or blood clotting. 

Join us to…

  • Find accurate and trustworthy information about blood clots
  • Learn about current research and treatments from experts
  • Share your questions and experiences with others

Each group will begin with short participant introductions (your name, where you’re from, and one sentence about why you’re joining the group and/or your experience with blood clots.) A clinician will then answer general questions. You may submit questions in advance when you register. 

Please note that our featured experts cannot provide personalized medical advice.

This month, we will be joined by Dr. Christian Ruff!
