After the requisite courses in biochemistry, genetics, and physiology, students take courses in transfusion medicine (serology, platelet and white cell immunology, blood product utilization), hemeostasis (coagulation, platelet disorders, thrombophilia testing), red cell disorders (disorders of hemoglobin, iron metabolism, anemia), and cellular diagnostics (blood, bone marrow and lymph node morphology). They also take courses in blood immunology, hemopathology, and pathophysiology. Courses in pediatric hematology and hematological oncology are available for those who wish to specialize in these fields.
Practical exercises are taken in diagnosing and treating hematologic diseases, as well as learning the hematologic changes that occur with aging and pregnancy. Also covered is the psychosocial care of patients with hematologic diseases, including palliative care and end-of-life care.
Seminars in hematology are on a regular basis, and include topics such as case histories, new therapies, drug trials, and basic research into hematology and oncology.
