Welcome to Hematology (2.25 CME)
In this course, we will cover all the common cases of Hematology that you will face in the hospital on a daily basis. From working up anemia, to leukemia, to thrombocytopenia and everything in between. By the end of this section, you should be ready to tackle the most common hematologic abnormalities that you will face in the hospital. This will be done through discussing real life cases, how the patients present, how to diagnose them and how to treat them according to the latest guidelines.
