AB  - The  study  of  blood  and  hematologic  disorders  has  special  appeal  for  medical  students  as  well  as  physicians  at  all  stages  of  their  training.  Few  specialties  have  such  a  broad  impact  on  other  medical  disciplines.  A  competent  hematologist  must  be  wellgrounded  in  pathology,  internal  medicine,  pediatrics,  and  surgery.  Conversely,  both  generalists  and  other  specialists  regularly  encounter  patients  with  anemia,  hemorrhage,  thrombosis,  and  hematologic  malignancies.  For  many  students,  the  close  kinship  of  hematology  with  laboratory  medicine  is  an  added  virtue.  Few  medical  disciplines  enjoy  such  a  rich  array  of  reliable  and  informative  diagnostic  tests,  and  none  has  stronger  underpinnings  in  contemporary  molecular  and  cell  biology  and  molecular  pathology.
