Mission

The Partners in Bleeding Disorders Education Program promotes excellence in care through education created by and for the federally recognized Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) Network and providers from a variety of disciplines that serve patients with bleeding and other coagulation disorders.

Our goal is to provide comprehensive, broad-based education to support the treatment of bleeding and clotting disorders. Programs include the multidisciplinary Basic Partners, Advanced Partners, Presentation Skills Workshop, Motivational Interviewing Workshop, and PartnersPRN online learning activities. Programs target nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, physical therapists, and other members of the HTC multidisciplinary team.

Founded in 1996 by the Indiana Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center (IHTC), oversight of the Partners programs expanded in 2010 to include a nationally representative, multidisciplinary Advisory Board comprising medical professionals as well as representatives from the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation, Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan, Hemophilia Alliance, and the American Thrombosis and Hemostasis Network (ATHN). The Partners in Bleeding Disorders Education Program is supported by independent medical educational grants from manufacturers and various non-profit organizations serving the bleeding disorders community. Travel and lodging for program participants are made possible by an at-will contribution from the Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center and Cascade Hemophilia Consortium.
