Clincal Hematology and Hematooncology Unit provides experiential learning for undergraduate medical student and postgraduate trainee. Student participate in blended learning that covers a broad spectrum of haematological disorders and treatment, providing a comprehensive and all-encompassing educational experience.

From an experiential standpoint, trainees interact with in-patient care, daycare patient evaluations, outpatient clinics, and are exposed to benign and malignant hematological illnesses, hemostatic problems, and transfusion-related difficulties in direct consultation with their lecturers. Students can study uncommon diseases by having access to archive records through an in-house patient electronic record. Social media platforms enable real-time sharing of a single student's experience with other students throughout clinical training.

Lecturer-Student discussion broadcasted for group learning
Students become familiar with cytotoxic therapy, post-chemotherapy care, and its associated problems throughout this time. They also learn how to insert and manage central venous access device.
Being a sincere supporter of formative learning, we don't think posting exams has an end. However, in order to succeed, students must get a minimum score on the continuous assessment.
Other Post Graduate Program
We also received Master of Medicine (Transfusion) candidate for an 8 weeks rotation and Masters in Pathology (Haematology) candidate for a 11 weeks rotation.
