This is a both a lecture and case-based course. Interactive polls will be used and you have the opportunity to ask questions at anytime.
The cases that are used in day 2, make use of interactive, digital slides. These allow you to navigate and examine blood smears. To get the most of the course, it is recommended you review these cases before attending the live sessions.
A great way to build on your morphology skills before attending this course is taking the ‘Essential Blood Cell Morphology’ course. This additional 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.
You can purchase this course and access the first lesson on red cells for FREE via this link.
