Who is a Hematologist?

Hematologists are internal medicine doctors who have training in disorders related to the bone marrow, blood, and lymphatic system. They may work in hospitals, clinics, or blood banks. Hematologists who practice in labs are called hematopathologists. They are well- trained in pathology, a branch of medicine that studies body tissues and the blood with microscopes or tests.

If your primary care physician has advised you to see a hematologist, it might be because you are at risk for a disease involving the red or white blood cells, blood vessels, platelets, bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes.

A hematologist:

  • Diagnoses and treats chronic and acute diseases that affect the blood including issues with blood clotting, blood cell production, and cancer
  • Provides screening of blood disorders, such as sickle cell anemia, hemophilia
  • Performs a physical exam and studies the patient’s personal as well as family medical history
  • Orders and evaluates blood and genetic tests and also prescribes medications

A hematologist may also be known by the following names: blood disease specialist or blood doctor.

What are the qualifications of a Hematologist?

When choosing a hematologist, board certification plays a key role. A doctor might treat patients with blood disorders and conditions without being board certified in hematology. However, training, education, experience and certification establish the hematologist’s level of competence. Also, board certification tells whether the doctor has completed a training program and cleared an exam demonstrating their expertise in hematology.

This is the pathway:

• Graduation in medicine (MBBS) followed by post graduation programme (MD or DO).

• Residency training as well as certification exam in internal medicine

• More training (fellowship programs) and certification exams in hematology.

You may need to bring a family member or friend along with you. The person you bring can help ask questions, listen, and take notes.
