The European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Trainee Committee was established in 2021 to address the needs of trainees in the field of bone marrow transplant and cellular therapy and provide advice and support for trainees. The group, composed of trainees, young investigators, and students, wants to encourage trainees to establish themselves within the EBMT community to help build a collaborative working relationship with other EBMT Committees and other associations and groups.

In this podcast, Nico Gagelmann, MD, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany, Claire Horgan, Paediatric Haematology Trainee, UK, and Yasmina Serroukh, MD, PhD, University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada, discuss the recent EBMT Trainee Committee, highlighting its goals and upcoming activities. Additionally, the speakers review the first ever special session, ‘The EBMT for Trainees’, that took place during the EBMT Annual Meeting 2021.
