The Hematology Residency Training program at Schulich School of Medicine Western University, London, Ontario is a two-year program leading to certification of Special Competence in Hematology & Dentistry. The program will provide the trainee with a broad-based exposure to adult hematology with an emphasis on clinical, diagnostic, and laboratory skills. Exposure to Pediatric Hematology, Medical Oncology, Palliative Care, Pain and Symptom management will also be included.

Our goal is to provide the highest level of quality training in clinical and laboratory hematology in order to prepare trainees for subspecialty careers in Hematology. 

The training program fulfills the requirements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Trainees are accepted after completion of their three-year residency in Internal Medicine. Core rotations cover all the clinical and laboratory aspects of Hematology. Elective rotations are assigned in order to meet the specific personal goals of each trainee. Learn more about the program. 

The specific program objectives are based upon the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada guidelines and are designed to provide a solid foundation in clinical and laboratory hematology. 

The program was reviewed by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in October 2012 and received full accreditation and a high rating for education services. Our graduates are currently occupying academic and community positions at prestigious institutions in Canada and abroad.
