PGCME – 2019
Comments & Verbatim
Information presented at course will help me improve:
- Evaluation and Diagnosis of Hematological disorder and rational case of investigation
- Understanding the laboratory values better
- My knowledge in Haematology, recent advances. I was surprised to know that we can do a lot and diagnose much with the COULTER reports, histograms and scatter diagrams. "HEMOCYTOMORPHOMETER",
- Clinical pathological Correlation – importance
- In understanding the basic concepts and think of Haematology as a career option in my future
- knowledge about recent advances
- Providing Blood transfusion services better through a clinicians and patients perspective
- Performance day to day diagnostic challenges
- Diagnosis of Haematological conditions. Proper and prompt referral when needed
- Knowledge in Haematology malignancy and its treatment modality
- The basics of few complicated topics like molecular genetics
- Improve my approach in diagnosis and management
- Approach to anemia’s in our hospital setting at our place is very poor. This will help me at least evaluate anemia’s with our very limited resources
- In Diagnosis the Haematology disorder with new advances
- Facing examination in both theoretical & practical view.
The material presented will be incorporated in my practice in the following way:
- A more training to the laboratory techniques like flow since we don't have exposure
- The online education materials are good but they are not the same as the final presentations. We would like to receive the final presentations
- Rational of necessitating important yet expensive investigations if needed convincing the need to patients
- to apply to my day to day life experiences while analyzing a lab results to order further investigations
- My junior doctors and my assistant professor will be encouraged to attend this CME in future
- I teach UG students. It will help them understand. I am preparing for DM Haemat entrance for updating further knowledge
- Systemic approach in reading a diagnosis and learning will try to avoid irrelevant investigations
- It helpful in incorporating the knowledge and application in routine work up
- Better diagnosis and Rx of patients with haematological disorders
- I have an increased awareness about the effectiveness of therapies of malignancies
I have the following recommendations for improvement of the program:
- Pathology and Medicine topics can be deal separately
- Discussion of the answer of quiz. Clinical ward rounds if possible
- Continuous in sessions without a break is brain draining, that was my problem otherwise the lecture were crystal clear
- Extend the duration of the Programme
- Excellent CME- by taken CMC, Kindly spends more time for clinical case discussion. It has really enlightened us on how to approach a patient and how to interpret various lab tests.
- Break the CME into 4 separate days to avoid time concerns and to avoid fed up want to see how different lab investigations are being done throughout procedure
I would suggest the following topics for future CME:
- Infectious Disease, Mi RNA, Haemophila, Von Willebrand disease, provide consolidated treatment flowchart.
- Recent advance treatment in Anaemia, Flow cytometry.
- More Coagulation disorders, Paediatric topics.
- RBC disorders in detail (Approach), clinically oriented' - Approach.
- Myeloprolifirative disorders, CART cell therapy, Sickle Cell Anaemia, Platelet function disorders, Haemolytic Anaemia, Thalassemia, Bone Marrow slides discussion.
- Infections in BM patients.
- Drug interactions in Haematology. Counseling patients of chronic disease. Procedure for setting up on Hemat lab.
- SOP's of CMC Vellore Haematology Dept procedures. Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
- How to approach to different common hematological abnormalities for clinicians.
- From next time please give more exposure on the diagnostic aspect of flow cytometery and cytogenetic in the lab tour.
- From next time please give the exposure of Hematology wards with patients if possible.
Additional Comments/Suggestions:
- Well organized, Punctual & Informative
- Thank you for good technical support food and an excellent class room. Thank you for being preemptive in all matters. Like arranging bus, writing pad, drinking water, arranging for machines near auditorium. Thank you for allowing us to be students of legends like you all. Thank you
- Appreciate that you have kept your timing, but it was very hectic to listen to lectures without a break. I know it should be scheduled like this to cover all the topics. But some of the topics can be skipped by changing the conference to patho and clinicians separately. More clinical orientations should be given to us clinicians but reduced explanation of pathological slides. I felt anemia class far better than leukemia. Visit to labs was not much needed in depth to us (I think). So it’s better to change CME if possible like that. Rest of the things was good and well done for conducting a CME like this successfully.
- Case discussion would have been kept in the afternoon after lunch session- to break the monotony.
- Sessions can be bit slower & more case discussions need to be conducted.
- Dr. Sukesh sir & Dr. MB Agarwal sir classes very very good.
- Can increase CME one more day so that topics can be done bit slowly.
- Please explain how to prepare for DM clinical Haematology examine & following for post graduated.
- Too exhaustive; more of pathology oriented. Still we clinical session needed.
- Primary Immune Deficiency talk: went very fast was not able to follow the talk.
- Need more time about coagulation disorders of VTE.
- Very Informative, Equal weightage to all topics. Quiz informative
- Kindly upload the latest presentations on the website. As the topics were fast, difficulties to take notes.
- Please give us and in sight how to prepare for DM fellowships in Clinical hematology and what is the scope and how many seats available to pathologist for a small session.
- Topics are excellent and helpful to learn
- It will be easy for us to follow if all presentations are uploaded as same - Protocols are very useful.
