2021-2022 Academic Catalog

PED 4480 Pediatric Hematology/Oncology

This rotation is useful for those interested in genetics and pathology, future Primary Care providers, and those with interest in either adult or pediatric Hematology/Oncology. Both the diagnostic recognition and the treatment protocols for hematologic and oncologic diseases can be challenging for providers. This rotation can help refine your fund of knowledge in this area, giving you more confidence when evaluating patients for whom these diagnoses are in the differential. Most of these patients are surviving into adulthood, so this may help you understand their adult risks for those interested in adult medicine.
