What kind of degree do you need to become a hematologist?

Answer 1

A hematologist must have a medical degree from an accredited medical school and an active medical license. Medical degrees such as the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (D.O.) (earned in USA), the Doctor of Medicine degree (M.D.), or The Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery degree (MBBS/MBChB) can be used to become a hematologist. Once the medical degree is earned, a residency in hematology/oncology must be completed and board certification examinations must be completed to become a board certified hematologist.

Answer 2

A hematologist is a physician who treats and investigates malignant and non-malignant blood diseases, such as cancers, vascular disorders or bleeding disorders. A candidate must complete medical school followed by a three-year residency for clinical training. A three-year fellowship follows clinical training. Following the fellowship, the physician may pursue their career in clinics, hospitals, labs or universities.

Answer 3

After completing undergraduate coursework in college, a recognized medical degree must be earned from an accredited medical school. Degrees such as the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree, the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, or the Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS/MBChB) degree must be earned. After this, an internal medicine residency is completed and a hematology/oncology fellowship must be completed. Board certification examinations must be successfully passed after completing the appropriate residency training to become a board-certified hematologist/oncologist. The internal medicine residency is three years and medical school is four years in the United States. A fellowship is the period of medical training in the United States and Canada that a physician may undertake after completing a specialty training program (residency). During this time (usually more than one year), the physician is known as a fellow. Fellows are capable of acting as attending or consultant physician in the generalist field in which they were trained, such as traditional medicine or pediatrics. After completing a fellowship in the relevant sub-specialty, the physician is permitted to practice without direct supervision by other physicians in that sub-specialty, such as cardiology or oncology. ( In this case, hematology)

Answer 4

A hematologist is a physician specializing in diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs. Therefore, it would take four years for the bachelor's degree with completion of all prerequisite coursework required by medical schools, and four years of medical school. Thus, eight years beyond high school completion. While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in Biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. The best major to take should be based on a contingency plan. In other words, what happens if you do not go to medical school? What will you be able to do with the degree that you have, and will it provide you with a satisfying career or career path? You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.

• Communication (written and oral)
• Higher level math's (algebra, trigonometry, calculus)
• Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
• Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
• Physics
• Computer literacy
• Development of good critical thinking skills.

Following the bachelor's degree, would be four years of medical school to obtain the MD or DO degree. There will also be an additional three or more years to complete the internship and residency requirements depending on the specialty.
