Program Description 
Presented in cooperation with the Community Oncology Program at CancerCare Manitoba, Blood Disorders Day 2020 is a full-day symposium of value to all health professionals. Each week, hematologists at CCMB receive approximately 60 outpatient referrals for consultation. Blood Disorders Day has been specifically developed to provide the most practical and relevant information on blood disorders and hematology primary care.
Target Audience
The target audience of the education program is Primary Care Providers, including family physicians, nurse practitioners, and trainees. Interdisciplinary team members such as nurses, pharmacists and educators are also a part of the target audience.
Learning Objectives
The program includes lectures, panel presentations and interactive discussions designed to provide learners with practical and relevant information on blood disorders.
The learning objectives of the program are to:
1. Develop an approach to the work up of patients with suspected blood disorders, especially those with laboratory abnormalities (e.g. anemia or other cytopenias).
2. Use clinical algorithms to inform the diagnosis, management, and optimal referral of patients with blood disorders.
3. Review up to date treatment strategies for patients with common blood disorders.
