Best hematology books according to redditors

Also a heme onc fellow, could supplement clinical reading with something like Pathophysiology of Blood Disorders which I thought was a very easy to read and fairly short book (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1259642062). You might even have institutional access through AccessMedicine.

I'm not aware of any textbook that contains all the subjects in one, and isn't test prep (question and answer format). That said, I only used ASCP's book (BOC Study Guide), which was not that helpful. These are probably too much information, but if she already knows enough about the clinical laboratory to navigate them, they may be helpful. Particularly if you can find cheap used ones a few editions old. These are the books I used for my clinical theory classes:

Hematology

Hematology Atlas

Clinical Chemistry

Clinical Microbiology

Parasitology

Blood Banking

She may also need one for Urinalysis & Body Fluids, though I have not used this one, just picked it from Amazon.

If nothing else the blood banking one is cheap! Good luck!

This book rocks. The Complete (but not obsessive) Hematopathogy Guide by Kristine Krafts. She's my precious pathology lecturer and this book is super accessible and full of helpful mnemonics for hematopath.

Edit: precious is supposed to be previous. But she is pretty nice.

The new Jaffe Hematopathology has the updated criteria the revised WHO book will use. Good book too. Technically the next one is revised 4th edition as the 4th edition for every organ system isn't out yet so they can't go to the 5th. Only a few changes were made already for terminology so far (we started calling CD4 small-medium a lymphoproliferative disorder with a comment of how it was recently reclassified, etc) here, but a bunch of things were already adjusted based on interval recommendations from myeloma group etc that had already been adopted and are also going to be in WHO 4th revised.

edit: This is the book in question. I can vouch for the quality of the inkling ebook which is how I usually read it.

Top picks from me-

Foucar- Blood and Bone Marrow

Shaz- Transfusion Medicine and Hemostasis

​

Two books I used most for the Australian RCPA haematopathology exams. Foucar is in dot point form, doubles as an atlas. Has malignant and non-malignant chapters though only- as the name suggests- blood and bone marrow topics. There is a Lymph Node version in the Diagnostic Pathology series- in Australia that's the realm of Anatomical Pathologists so can't comment on it. If your lab has ExpertPath access it's largely the same content I believe.

WHO book is essential though hopefully already 100 copies floating around your lab. Jaffe's Hematopathology is more comprehensive in terms of explanations behind the WHO diagnostic categories, though of course heavy going.

Blood Bank Guy lecture series and podcasts are quite well regarded.

I'm not a resident, but I did a PSF and did 2.5 blocks of blood bank/transfusion medicine (and loved it). I used this text and thought it was superb: "Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine: Basic Principles and Practice", link so you can see what it looks like https://www.amazon.com/dp/0443069816/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_HyqnDb6448B8K

If you're in AP/CP, then you'll need a hemepath book--and my favourite, for CP residents, is Practical Diagnosis of Hematologic Disorders. It's terrific: easy to read, straightforward, great content, well organized.
