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.
