Event details

This lecture is part of the CBR lecture series. Held on Wednesdays from 1-2pm PT, CBR seminars feature insightful scientific talks, with speakers from a range of clinical, industry and academic backgrounds.

Hematology is that branch of medicine concerned with the clinical and laboratory investigation, diagnosis and medical management of diseases of the blood and bloodforming tissues. Hematology trainees must acquire a working knowledge of the theoretical basis of the subspecialty, including its foundations in the basic medical sciences and research. I will discuss the steps to becoming a hematologist in Canada as well as some cases of typical hematology patients.
