Consultant to Other Physicians
Residents play an important part in the daily activities of the Hematology Laboratory, not only in the knowledge they share with the technologists, but also in their ability to interact with clinicians referring specimens to the laboratory. The resident may speak with these physicians, who may be from UML outreach areas, as well as from other institutions. Residents may discuss relevant clinical information about the patient and may also convey information to them about the status of testing.
