What education is needed to become a Hematologist?

Answer 1

A bachelors degree, along with a recognized medical degree such as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree, a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, or a Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery degree must be earned from an accredited medical school. After that, an internal medicine residency followed by a fellowship in hematology must be completed and board certification examinations must be successfully passed. A pediatrics or pathology residency can also be completed prior to entering into fellowship instead of an internal medicine residency.
