Abstract

The chapter of hematology and oncology contains peer-reviewed questions and critiques written by pediatric emergency medicine physicians. Each question has been tailored to the American Board of Pediatrics’ (ABP) subspecialty content specifications. These questions will help you gain insight and identify gaps in your knowledge, which will in turn help prepare you for the boards. At the end of each question, we provide detailed evidence-based explanation to the answers along with suggested references.
