| A: Learning Modules |
|
The Learning Modules are all built upon the same principle:
- At the beginning you will examine and compare the various kinds of cells and the qualitative abnormalities of the blood and/or bone marrow.
- In the next step you must recognize these cells and abnormalities. You will always receive feedback as to whether you are right or wrong.
- At the end of the program, you will have to assess the blood film of important hematological diseases.
Read the instructions for each module carefully. Red numbers indicate sequential order.

 |
White Blood Cells
You will learn how to recognize normal and pathological
leukocytes as well as toxic abnormalities of neutrophils
and monocytes. You will then differentiate the leukocytes
of fifteen different diseases. |
|
 |
Red Blood Cells
Here, you will learn how to recognize the qualitative
abnormalities of red blood cells. You will then assess
the red blood cells of eleven different diseases. |
|
 |
Platelets
You will learn step by step how to recognize the
quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of platelets.
You will then assess the platelets of five different
diseases. |
|
 |
Artifacts in the Blood Film
In this module, you will learn to recognize and identify
different artifacts. |
|
 |
Normal Bone
Marrow
You will learn step by step how to recognize normal bone
marrow cells as well as how to assess cellularity and
iron content. |
|
|
| B: Reference Modules |
|
Unlike the learning modules, here you can systematically consult blood pictures and information about the most important hematological abnormalities and diseases.

Gallery
of Blood and Bone Marrow Films
In this module, you can examine the blood pictures of
more than 60 diseases. For some of them the bone marrow
films are presented as well. |

Informational Units
You can access the list of all the available units found
in the program here. |

 |
Laboratory
Techniques
Read the instructions on how to produce a blood film and
how to perform a May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain as well
as a reticulocyte stain. Watch videos in
which these procedures are demonstrated.
Read the descriptions on manual and automated blood cell
counting methods. Their advantages and disadvantages are
also discussed. |
