Hematology Tutorial in Sri Lanka updates expertise on myeloid malignancies and MDS of local hematologists
After a successful first edition in 2017, EHA and the Sri Lanka College of Haematologists (SLCH) organized its second two-day tutorial together in February in Colombo. The tutorial aimed to update the expertise of local hematologists from all levels.
The EHA-SLCH Hematology Tutorial on Myeloid Malignancies and MDS focused on further advancing the knowledge on myeloid malignancies and myelodysplastic syndromes and teach novel approaches on the treatment of these topics.
The program covered the following topics:
- Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)
- Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN)
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
- Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)
- BMTx in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
- VTE in hematological malignancy
- Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) / Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL)
The tutorial aimed to educate the participants by using different hematology case studies and give them general and case-based knowledge so they can be better prepared to identify and treat disorders.
Wonderful academic experience. The content was very good. The presence of participants from outside Sri Lanka was very encouraging. - I Dharmasena, Speaker
Lectures, clinical cases and self-evaluation cases were used as presentation methods. Lectures provided the knowledge, clinical cases displayed the applied use of such knowledge and self-evaluation cases gave participants the chance to self-test the knowledge they were presented with.
After each clinical or self-evaluation case, there was enough time for interaction between participants and faculty. The participants took part in multiple self-assessment cases during the tutorial. A final evaluation was conducted to assess the efficiency of the tutorial.
It was a great experience for us. Content was comprehensive with challenging cases and discussions. Audience actively participated with challenging questions. - Shanika Vitharana, Speaker
It was a great opportunity for me to contribute as speaker. All delegates who shared their thoughts with me were really looking forward to participating in the next event. I really hope and wish that we will be able to experience the 3rd tutorial in the future. - Indika Somaratne, Speaker
EHA thanks SLCH for making this tutorial possible. #
