Amy H. Huang, internal medicine resident at the University of Connecticut (UConn) School of Medicine, shared a post on X:
“A group of residents, medical students, and I created a HemOnc podcast tailored to trainees!
Introducing – All Things HemOnc:
- HemOnc made simple — for trainees, by trainees
- A podcast with expert guests and real talk
- The lessons we wish someone told us
- Spotify link in bio and comments
We’ll cover the consults everyone trips on, the ‘scary-but-not-so-scary‘ HemOnc emergencies, IM board-style questions, patient stories, and career talks — breaking it all down the way we wish we’d learned it.
Our first episode – ‘Thrombocytopenia’ – is out now on Spotify!
Ever stared at a platelet count of 30k thinking, ‘What do I do?’ Wondered if it’s TTP or HIT? Or hesitated at 3 AM, ‘Should I call Heme?’
We got you covered in under 12 minutes!
In this episode, we invited Dr. Ritika Vankina, a core faculty of Hematology/Oncology at UConn, to share her approach for thrombocytopenia.
Thrombocytopenia is the most common inpatient Hematology consult — and knowing how to triage it is key, especially on night shift or in the ICU.
In this episode:
- Guest: Ritika Vankina, MD, MPH
- Hosts: Amy Huang, PGY3 and Sukhmani Sidhu, PGY2
- Writers: Amy Huang, Mai Salem, PGY2
- Editor: Shaharia Ferdaus
Addendum: When triaging DIC, consider the degree of cytopenia, clinical picture, and diagnostic confidence. If it is DIC with active bleeding, please consult hematology!
