Course Name : Applied Hematology

Code(Credit) : CUTM1749 (3-2-0)

Course Objectives

  • The overall aims are that the student should obtain advanced knowledge of the most common hematologic diseases & understanding the concept of Blood cells and other blood components.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the components of human blood and characteristics, functions, and abnormalities and disease states of each.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in the skills necessary to perform blood cell counts, and evaluation of blood elements within stated limits of accuracy.
  • Determine suitability of hematology specimens and dispose of them in the appropriate bio-hazard containers.

Learning Outcomes

  • The students be made aware of Safety precautions, Quality assurance, biomedical waste management and automation in haematology. It will also cover Red cell abnormalities, Disorder of leukocytes, Investigations of a case suffering from bleeding disorders, To learn about tests carried out for hematological investigations.
  • Understanding of Haemopoietic disorders, laboratory diagnosis of leukemia, hemolytic anemia.
  • Collection & preservation of blood for the investigations.
