Participate in these Early Career activities at ISTH 2025

Supporting early career professionals is one of the top priorities of the ISTH. In this article, Aaron Iding, M.D., Early Career Committee Member of the Annual Congress Planning Committee (ACPC), shares more information about the mission of the Early Career Committee and how to get involved at ISTH 2025.

The ISTH Early Career Committee – comprised of twelve members from around the world – ensures their voices are heard in policy decisions and spearheads initiatives such as webinars (available on the ISTH Academy) to benefit emerging professionals. For the Congress, we’ve organized three opportunities that should be on everyone’s radar:

• On Saturday, the Congress kicks off with an Early Career Session featuring exciting talks and roundtable discussions about diverse career paths within and outside of academia. Be sure to register!
• Visit the Early Career Lounge throughout the Congress to enjoy a welcoming space to relax and network with your peers. In addition, the Lounge hosts a varied program covering career growth, mentoring and ways to get involved with the ISTH.
• Finally, during the Congress there will be Career Development Sessions and Master Classes. The former focuses on essential skills in your career, while the latter provides engagement with cutting-edge research topics.

We hope this diverse program will enhance your Congress experience. If you see us around (very likely at the Early Career Lounge!), don’t hesitate to say hello – we’re always open to feedback on how we can better support you.
