Improve Patient Care in Hematology and Oncology

The Brigham and Dana-Farber Board Review in Hematology and Oncology will help improve clinical practice gaps in hematology and oncology derived from the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) certification/recertification requirements.

• Perform differential diagnosis of complex hematologic and oncologic disorders
• Identify and apply current therapeutic options for hematologic and oncologic disorders
• Evaluate and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to hematology and oncology
• Illustrate knowledge of pathophysiology of hematologic and oncologic disorders
• Apply new knowledge to the ABIM certification/recertification hematology and oncology examinations
