Description
The consult service of the Massachusetts General Hospital is responsible for the evaluation and treatment recommendations for a variety of hematologic and oncologic questions in the medical and surgical services, both benign and malignant. It consists of a fellow, an attending and rotating students and residents from Harvard Medical School or outside institutions. Students are assigned cases to review and present to the team, typically one consult per day. Radiology and pertinent pathology is frequently reviewed in the appropriate departments (and students are encouraged to review them prior to case presentations). Moreover, there are scheduled rounds for review of peripheral blood smears. The division offers a series of lectures on a weekly basis, both on general topics, such as the new patient conference, as well as on specialized topics covered in the conferences of the individual disease centers (such as bone marrow transplantation, lymphoma/leukemia, lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer etc.)
