In this Hematology course we will discuss the formation of blood cells (hemopoiesis) and their roles in health and disease. The focus in Hematology, part I, will be on myeloid cells and leukemia. The focus is on myeloid cells, leukemia, erythrocytes, platelets, anemia, and coagulation disorders. Lectures on all topics will be provided as well as practice problems.
