This is a primarily case-based course. The majority of the cases are use interactive, digital slides allowing you navigate and examine blood and bone marrow samples. To get the most of the sessions, it is recommended you review these cases before watching the session recording. All the sessions have a common theme to focus your learning.
This exclusive morphology course provides you with video tutorials, e-learning modules and assessments. You will cover the morphology of all the major haematopoeitic cells found in reactive and malignant conditions. Whatever your level of experience, we suggest you work through this course alongside the live sessions.
The course can be found in the ‘‘Course Sessions’ tab above.
Although we will cover a large range of topics, it would be impossible for us review everything! We hope that it will spark your interest and further reading in diagnostic haematology.
