Tematika

Short description of the course: The course involves three main topics, Haematology (Benign and malignant disorders), Haemostasis (thromboembolic disorders, acquired and inherited bleeding disorders), and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Haematology will be lectured in 1 hour/week. Etiology, pathophysiology, genetical background of malignant haematological diseases, clinical symptoms, physical disturbances, diagnostic procedures will be highlighted. Detailed therapeutic options will also be discussed.

The haematology curriculum is intended to act as a guide to medical students as to the extent and depth of knowledge of haematology that would be expected to be acquired during the semester.

Aims: The acquisition of basic knowledge of laboratory and clinical Haematology.

Prerequisites: The student requires an appropriate knowledge of anatomy and physiology and a basic knowledge of cell biology including function of chromosomes and genes.
