Hematologists and others working in hematology-related fields need to stay current with the latest advances in the rapidly evolving disciplines of adult and pediatric hematology including benign and malignant disorders. The American Society of Hematology Self-Assessment Program (ASH-SAP) is the only complete, comprehensive, educational resource available that fulfills this need.
The aim of this Self-Assessment Program is to provide a comprehensive, yet concise overview of the dynamic and rapidly evolving disciplines of adult and pediatric hematology. It is intended for Fellows in training, both as a review and as a resource to prepare for Subspecialty Board Certification. It will also be an ideal reference for the practicing hematologist as an update in the discipline, for acquisition of continuing medical education credit, and for recertification board preparation.The format includes both pediatric and adult perspectives, with introductory chapters on the molecular and cellular biology foundations of hematology. The major benign and neoplastic disorders as well as stem cell transplantation, transfusion medicine and laboratory haematology are represented in subsequent chapters. A section on consultative haematology synthesizes and integrates the management of patients with blood disorders. Case vignettes within the chapters serve to focus the disease properly.
