Course objectives
This course includes information about the origin, development, structure and function of the system of hematopoietic cells and organs as well as of the blood clotting system. Both of them are described not only in health but also during various diseases inherited and acquired. Students will receive information summarizing pathophysiologic mechanisms, clinical and mainly laboratory findings in hematologic diseases and laboratory assays serving for treatment’s maintenance. The knowledge will allow students to interpret results obtained during hematological laboratory examination for diagnosis establishing and/or for differential diagnoses.

Teaching methods
Students will attend two hours long lecture ones a week (14 per semester). Participation in lectures is optional. Each lecture is in the current version published on is.muni.cz.
Assessment methods
The course is closed by an examination which is divided into practical and an oral part. Practical part includes testing of haemostaseology or hematologic morphology, depending on the selected question. In the haemostaseology student performs basic coagulation test, interprets coagulation laboratory finding (four basic coagulation tests) and orally answers the selected question which is aimed at understanding the laboratory investigations in blood clotting. If the question is chosen from the morphological laboratory, the student evaluates 6 microscopic findings (in digital processing) and orally answers the selected question which is aimed at understanding the laboratory investigations in morphological diagnosis in haematology. In oral part student elects three questions, one of which is focused on non - oncological haematology, the second one concerns the blood coagulation and the third one at haematological oncology. Each question (one practical and three theoretical) is grades A-F. No grade F is necessary condition for passing an examination.
