Hematology

Hematology is a specialized field of medical technology that focuses on the study and analysis of blood and its components. As a third-year medical technology student, you’ll delve into the examination of blood samples to identify and diagnose various blood disorders and diseases. Through laboratory techniques such as complete blood counts (CBC), blood smear evaluations, and coagulation studies, you’ll gain proficiency in assessing red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma proteins. Hematology also encompasses the investigation of blood clotting disorders, such as hemophilia, as well as the evaluation of anemia, leukemia, and other hematological malignancies. By mastering the intricacies of hematological testing, you’ll contribute to accurate diagnoses and aid in the treatment and monitoring of patients with blood-related conditions.
