Clinical laboratory hematology

For both CLT (MLT) and CLS (MT) hematology and hemostasis courses. This comprehensive - yet easy to read - hematology and hemostasis text is designed for students at all levels of clinical laboratory science. In each chapter, two levels of objectives and questions (fundamental and advanced) are presented, allowing instructors to customise content to fit their specific course focus. Case studies and checkpoints in each chapter help students apply and assess their knowledge as they progress.
