Hematological

Catalogue Description: This course focuses on histology, physiology, pathology, pathophysiology, pharmacology and infectious diseases of the hematologic (blood) system. The course will give students a basic understanding of blood and bone marrow function and disease states, thereby providing a foundation for students to build upon as they encounter patients in their clinical training and future careers. Students will hone their critical thinking skills as they engage in small group discussions, problem-based learning, and simulated learning environments to solve real-world medical dilemmas. Additionally, students will be expected to actively participate in the concurrent clinical skills course to obtain hands-on practice with critical skills such as performing physical exams and procedures relevant to the field.
