The aim of this course is to introduce students to contemporary knowledge in the field of Haematopathology and become familiar to the diagnostic approach of hematological diseases. 

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to use the acquired knowledge to:

• Understanding of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue neoplasms classification
• Be familiar to methods and techniques used in their diagnosis
• Distinguishing the distinct clinicopathological entities in Haematopathology
• Using of microscopic images for lymphoma and hematopoietic diseases diagnoses
• Organizing and analyzing data from immunohistochemistry and molecular techniques for haematological diagnosis.
• Using scientific books and publications, to be informed about the recent knowledge related to Haematopathology.
• Collaborate with fellow students for presentation of clinical cases, or a paper/literature review on a given topic.
• Collaborate with fellow students in searching literature and writing scientific articles – interesting clinical cases.

General Abilities

The Department of pathology organizes courses, workshops, post-educational meetings and actively participates in research and conferences aimed at:

• Promotion of knowledge and medical ethics, with rules of ethics, which serve the recent needs of the student-future doctor as well as society needs.
• Promotion of knowledge and research, within a free academic environment, aiming at the highest quality educational level.
• High-level research, published in contemporary highly prestigious scientific Journals.
• Education of students, in order to understand the modern medical thought, the way research is conducted, theories and methodological approaches related to morphology of human body tissues and the multistage process of carcinogenesis.

The goal is the preparation of students, capable of further continuing their studies within our university as well as their successful careers.
