Program Description: 

Through its educational arm, the ISTH Academy, the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) has begun hosting a series of webinars on practical thrombosis and haemostasis issues that scientists and physicians frequently confront. These webinars will allot time for participants to ask questions and will cover the latest information on relevant topics.

How and when to monitor novel anticoagulants – Mark Crowther (Canada)
Dr. Crowther will discuss when (nearly never) and how (it is complicated) novel anticoagulants.
