c. Clinical program
Teaching of students to perform a systematic hematological examination, to learn to interpret the routine laboratory techniques and to evaluate peripheral and bone marrow smears. Teaching is aimed to fulfill the requirements of the syllabus of clinical practice in hematology. Students are also asked to prepare and discuss "Case Studies" (Problem Based Learning) which have been complied for them by the University. They are also encouraged to use the WebPath which is the computerized tutorial file for hematology students.

2. Postgraduate Education
We are in the process of organizing Post-Graduate courses for hematology residents from all around the country. In addition, a Tele- Medicine course in hematology has been launched since last year as part of the Tele-Medicine for Internal Medicine residents all over the country.
