Hematology
Hematology allows you to understand how the organs in the body interact to ensure the body’s normal balance, or homeostasis. The study of hematology allows for a better understanding of the body’s functioning. And while pre-hospital care of hematological disorders is mostly supportive, an understanding of these diseases can guide you in your assessment and care of these patients. Rescuers who understand how hematology and hematological dysfunction affect the body’s systems can perform more studied assessments across the patient care continuum and provide better treatment to patients. After completing this course, you will have a broadened set of skills from which to draw upon during hands-on training or real-world calls for service. This course prepares you from the cognitive side. Further hands-on training will round out what you acquire from this course.
