Course Objectives

  • The Clinical Hematology course will cover the diagnosis and management of blood cell disorders, anatomy and physiology of hematopoiesis, routine specialized hematology tests, analysis, classification, and monitoring of blood cell abnormalities.
  • Clinically relevant hematological analysis for deeper understanding evaluate normal and abnormal cell morphology with associated diseases and other blood components .
  • Be able to handle an investigation of hematological disorder and laboratory abnormalities such as anaemia, polycythemia, leukopenia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, thrombocytosis, elevated ESR etc within hematology.

Learning Outcomes

  • Differentiate various hematological procedures and the use of basic equipment essential to working in a Hematology Laboratory.
  • Discuss differences between Quality control, Quality Assurance, and Continuing Quality Improvement principles as used in the Hematology Laboratory.
  • Categorize various hematology analyses , operational principles of various hematology instruments, and troubleshooting of various instruments.
  • Explain the principles and theories utilized in a variety of problem-solving situations.
  • Define testing suitability standards for Hematology specimens.
  • To be able to carry out blood sampling & Evaluate specimen acceptability.
