  1. Hematology By: Haylee Hansen W1

  2. What is it? • the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs

  3. Jobs • People who hold hematology jobs are called hematologists, and they usually specialize by working with a particular condition. • Clinical laboratory scientists known as hematopathologists help physicians make diagnoses and treatment decisions based on physical and chemical analyses of blood samples. • Other hematology jobs are held by nurses and laboratory technicians, who aid doctors and scientists in their work.

  4. Average Income • The current median expected salary for a Hematologist/Oncologist in the United States is $235,929 • This is a difference in salary by years of experience for Hematologists/Oncologists as follows: • 1-2 Years - $181,348 • 3 or More - $245,000 • Maximum - $685,000

  5. Education • The education and training requirements for the different hematology jobs vary. Hematologists and hematopathologists are generally required to complete medical school and up to six years in residency and fellowship programs before working independently. • Most nurses hold bachelor's or master's degrees and gain specialized certification from regional governing boards. • Technicians are usually required to earn associate's degrees in medical technology as well as regional licensure. • There is room for advancement in most hematology jobs with continuing education, experience, and expert skills.

  6. Places? • You can get a degree for hematology in pretty much any school or university who has a medical program. • The place closes to Rapid City that I found was South Dakota State University. They have many classes for hematology.

  7. Demand • As the overall demand for registered nurses grows, so will the need for hematology oncology nurses and hematology oncology nurse practitioners. • Right now in the world there is not a huge demand for hematologist.

  8. A day in the life • Hematology oncology nursing is very demanding. Working alongside a hematologist, you could administer highly toxic treatments to your patients, care for them after treatment, and counsel them, all in one day. You could be wishing someone good luck as they leave your care for the last time healthy, or you could be saying good-bye to a patient who may not live to your next shift.
