Hematology |
The University of Texas Health Science Center |
220 students |
| The goal of this course is to expose students to the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of disease and disorders as they pertain to the specialty of hematology. During the module, the first year medical students will come to appreciate the basic science foundation for the clinical practice of Hematology. Students will gain an understanding of the medical non-medical factors that affect the hematology system. As 1 of 32 Team-Based Learning facilitators, I facilitate and provide guiding information to 2 groups of first-year medical students, 8 students/group. Interactive discussions center around synthesizing clinical information with fundamentals of medicine as presented during preceding didactic sections. 2 cases discussed x 2 contact hours each = 4 hours. 2 cases x group faculty preparation via briefing/debriefing before/after each session, 2 hours each = 4 hours. 4 cases x 2 hours solo preparation each = 4 hours. |
