Hematology Teaching Cases

ASH Teaching Cases, found on the web site of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), presents fifteen case studies for use by medical students and hematology instructors. The interactive cases are designed to simulate the steps involved in diagnosing a patient, from taking a history to following the clinical course of the disease. Students are asked to consider the right questions to ask along the way, while explanatory text, graphics and a glossary provide information about the pathophysiology of the various diseases.

Instructors may link to or reference the sites of the individual cases, provided the links they create do not use ASH's trademark.
