TeleHematology: Six-Month Professional Certificate (with TeleCardiology Companion Track)
A comprehensive 24-week blended program for a wide range of clinicians and entrepreneurs. Build HIPAA-compliant telehematology/telecardiology services, deliver remote diagnostics, manage longitudinal care, and operate reimbursable specialty clinics through live/asynchronous learning, simulation labs, digital slide telepathology, virtual OSCEs, and practice-building labs.
Program Overview
This 24-week program is designed for a diverse audience, including pathologists, hematologists, APPs, hospitalists, and digital-health entrepreneurs. Participants will learn to launch compliant telehematology/telecardiology services, conduct remote diagnostics via digital pathology and RPM, and manage complex longitudinal care.
Curriculum and Schedule
The program follows a structured progression over six months, blending foundational knowledge with advanced clinical and business skills.
- Months 1–2: Telehealth foundations, compliance, virtual exams, lab interpretation, digital pathology basics.
- Months 3–4: Deep dive into clinical telehematology, anticoagulation management, RPM, and a whole-slide imaging practicum.
- Month 5: Telecardiology companion track, focusing on devices, RPM, lifestyle cardiology, and virtual group visits.
- Month 6: Business lab, payer contracting, mock audits, capstone defense, and certification.
Clinical Core: Hematology & Cardiology
The clinical curriculum focuses on adapting specialist skills to the virtual environment, managing a wide spectrum of hematologic and cardiovascular conditions.

Sample Case Studies
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Automated pre-visit iron panel, virtual dietary review, and colonoscopy referral leads to normalized ferritin by 3 months.
Sickle Cell Comprehensive Care
A plan with CBT, group visits, and RPM thresholds leads to a 50% ED reduction and improved quality of life.
MGUS Surveillance
Risk stratification, low-intensity virtual monitoring, and an education microsite provide cost-effective vigilance.
Virtual Anticoagulation
DOAC initiation for AFib, peri-procedural planning, and adherence monitoring result in zero bleeding events.
Essential Thrombocythemia
CBC trend monitoring, aspirin optimization, and coordinated CV risk control lead to normalized platelets.
Digital Pathology Consult
A primary care provider uploads a WSI blood smear; the telehematologist provides an expert interpretation and management plan within hours.
Holistic & Integrative Approaches
Integrate evidence-based lifestyle medicine into your practice to improve patient outcomes.
Nutrition
Heme-focused iron/B12/folate counseling and anti-inflammatory dietary patterns.
Exercise & Sleep
Condition-appropriate activity plans and sleep hygiene coaching.
