ABSTRACT
Background: There is continuous rise in haematology and haemato-oncology cases in Nigeria.
Unfortunately, there is inadequate number of haematologists to care for these rising cases despite
the high number of medical doctors being churned out by over twenty medical schools in Nigeria.
Object: The aim of this study is to find out the preference rate of Haematology among medical
students in a typical Nigerian medical school.
Methodology: Questionnaires were used to collect data from medical students who met the
inclusion criteria. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS) software version 22. Results were presented in Frequency distribution tables and
pie charts.
