OHSU Third Year Elective Students
The objective of this course is to provide the student with fundamental understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical characteristics and treatment of hematologic and oncologic conditions occurring in childhood. While there is an emphasis on the most common childhood cancers such as leukemias and brain tumors, the student has the opportunity to learn the full spectrum of malignant solid tumors in children and common hematologic conditions such as aplastic anemia, coagulation disorders and the hemoglobinopathies. Students will spend time in the clinic or on the ward depending on their learning objectives and the census of the clinic or ward. Students are evaluated by a written evaluation based on observation of performance and attendance at and contributions to the Division's rounds and conferences.
