Hematology integrates basic, clinical and laboratory science advances to diagnose and treat patients with blood disorders.
The practice of hematology is based on an indepth understanding of molecular mechanism that reguglate structure and function of protein, DNA, RNA and carbohydrates.
Many hematologic disorders are defined by specific changes in molecules that have lead investigators to novel therapeutics to manage blood disease.
To learn hematology requires building a strong foundation and a desire to understand molecular pathogenesis of human disease.
In the past 25 years this field has been able to produce new medical therapies out of basic science knowledge generated by hematologists dedicated to basic science research.
Students should use this page to learn the fundamentals of hematology and begin building their own data base for lifelong learning of this rapidly advancing field.
Start with the hemeteam.com side. Use the ASH education materials and pursue in-depth reading of clinical literature based on cases that are seen in clinic and on the wards.
Hematology uses evidence based medicine to make clinical decisions.
You need to know how the literature supports your clinical decision making.
Must read beyond Up-to-date to know the literature.
