Do you guys have any good resources for hem/onc studying?

Books?

Websites?

(Resources that describe conditions and give treatments, for ex)

Thanks

Are you a pre-med? med student? resident? fellow? hospitalist?
it kind of matters

According to what he's written just a few weeks ago, he's a high school student:

Hello, I am currently a Junior in High School. I am going to be taking my CNA state exam in a few weeks, and am planning to start an EMT-B course soon.

After putting in more hours to both certifications, do those type of careers look well on College Resumes?

How do Medical Schools look at you being a CNA and EMT?

If anyone out there is an EMT, how tough is the course!

Thanks!

OP, if you're a high school student, I wouldn't worry about heme/onc reading material! Worry about getting into college first, then med school.

But if you insist, I can't think of anything suitable for high school (that was ages ago), except learn your molecular and cellular biology really well. Also, visari, gutonc, and others know heaps more than I do, but personally I really liked The Biology of Cancer (Weinberg) when I was a med student. Not sure what a hematologist/oncologist would say about the book, and I would absolutely defer to anything and everything they say over anything I say, but I thought it was good (I read the majority of it but not all of it).

In that case...whatever your AP Bio class is using is the right thing for you.

seriously dude?!
When 2nd year med students ask about fellowship I usually advise them to go have a beer... in this case I don't even know what to do

I think we're done here. Closing.
