Hematologist (Blood)

A hematologist specializes in hematology, a branch of medicine that is concerned with the study of blood, the blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. The lab work that goes into the study of blood is perfomed by a Medical Technologist. A hematologist’s routine work may range from the management of the laboratory, working at the microscope viewing blood films and bone marrow slides, interpreting various hematological test results, and caring for patients. Examples of hematology diseases include anemias, sickle-cell diseases, and Hodgkins disease.
