Hematologists and others working in hematology-related fields need to stay current with the latest advances in the rapidly evolving disciplines of adult and pediatric hematology. The American Society of Hematology Self-Assessment Program (ASH-SAP) is the only complete, comprehensive, educational resource available that fulfills this need, while also providing thorough board and recertification preparation, as well as AMA PRA Category 1 Credit'.
The aim of this Self-Assessment Program is to provide a comprehensive, yet concise overview of the dynamic and rapidly evolving disciplines of adult and pediatric hematology. It is intended for Fellows in training, both as a review and as a resource to prepare for Subspecialty Board Certification. It will also be an ideal reference for the practicing hematologist as an update in the discipline, for acquisition of continuing medical education credit, and for recertification board preparation. The format includes both pediatric and adult perspectives, with introductory chapters on the molecular and cellular biology foundations of hematology. The major benign and neoplastic disorders as well as stem cell transplantation, transfusion medicine and laboratory haematology are represented in subsequent chapters. A section on consultative haematology synthesizes and integrates the management of patients with blood disorders. Case vignettes within the chapters serve to focus the discussion on issues and applications in clinical practice. Core knowledge is well represented, and every effort has been made to identify recent advances and promising areas of ongoing clinical and basic research. Over 200 case-based, multiple-choice questions with detailed critiques are provided for CME credit and board preparation. An accompanying website provides links to Blood, The ASH Education Program Books and the ASH Image Bank. Special prices are available for members and trainees. The Self-Assessment Program is offered to American Society of Hematology members for US$250 and trainees for US$200. Those eligible for discount prices must contact customer service at 800-216-2522 or [email protected] to order.
