Conferences
Education is our top priority at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. As such, we offer multiple educational experiences, including:
- An 18-month rotating, structured curriculum, covering all of the major topics in Hematology/Oncology. Monday and Tuesday morning conferences.
- A Written curriculum for each rotation.
- Exam review course - an annual review of hematology and oncology in preparation for in-service exams.
- Board Review – weekly review for second and third year fellows as a study guide for board certification.
- Journal Club- a monthly critical review of recent medical literature given by selected fellows.
- Foundational Conference – weekly for first year fellows, to build a base of knowledge to carry them forward in the program. The intent is to review each disease site in detail to prepare the first-year fellow for their future clinical rotations, their second-year fellowship and their in-service examination.
- Benign Hematology Symposium – meets weekly to discuss in-depth diagnosis and management of bleeding disorders.
- Heme Path – meets monthly to review blood smears and slides for disease recognition, and as a review for in-service and board exams.
- M&M – meets quarterly to discuss common system issues and determine root cause analysis. Discussion centers on action plans, potential interventions, accountability, and timelines that will improve patient care.
