Description: "Hematology Board Review, Second Edition, has been thoroughly revised and updated to contain the latest information that fellows and clinicians need to successfully prepare for the Hematology Certification Exam administered by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). For the hematology-oncology fellow, hematologist, medical oncologist, or internist looking to review a given disease or blueprint category prior to their examination, this extremely practical study guide provides the pertinent points of emphasis that are often highlighted on the exam. Chapters on blood disorders and disease sites cover epidemiology, etiology and risk factors, staging, signs and symptoms, diagnostic criteria, indications for treatment, prognostic factors, treatment recommendations, and special considerations. Clinical pearls on other major subspecialty areas found on the exam include hematologic emergencies and supportive care, transfusion medicine, stem cell biology and hematopoiesis, cellular therapy, management of hematologic disease, complications after cellular therapy, and biostatistics. Includes practice questions, detailed rationales, and a convenient print and digital package"--
