Approach to Lab Haematology -Certificate Course
This course provides a comprehensive approach to haematology, covering all the essential topics needed to build a strong foundational understanding. The structured modules integrate core knowledge with case-based learning, which is crucial for developing diagnostic and interpretative skills. This combination ensures a solid base upon which deeper expertise in haematology can be developed.
The approach is based on methods developed over more than 20 yrs of experience in lab haematology combined with years of teaching postgraduate and undergraduate students. Everything is reclassified in ways that would make it practical and easy to remember. You would have a direction on how to approach haematology cases, what tests to ask for after doing the base line investigations and how to interpret the specialised tests.
The case discussions would help us “test” the methods that we have learnt and see if they can be applied effectively.
