ACE: Hematology-Oncology

School of Medicine

This course introduces medical students to the foundational principles of benign (classical) and malignant hematology and demonstrates how these concepts guide patient care across diverse clinical settings. Students will explore how clinical hematology, hematopathology, transfusion medicine, and coagulation medicine integrate to support comprehensive hematologic care. Over the four‐week rotation, students will spend three weeks participating in a combination of inpatient benign hematology consults and the leukemia/cellular therapy inpatient service, providing in‐depth exposure to both non‐malignant and high‐acuity malignant hematologic conditions. The remaining week is dedicated to transfusion medicine and coagulation medicine, offering hands‐on and laboratory‐based learning that highlights the essential diagnostic and therapeutic roles of these disciplines.
