We also have a dedicated outpatient palliative care clinic and community palliative care team that assists with patient care. Interdisciplinary care is shared with tertiary care facilities, in addition to regional cancer centers offering radiation. Bone marrow biopsies and treatments such as IV iron, phlebotomies, etc are all coordinated in our Medical Day Unit. Multidisciplinary tumour boards are held biweekly in conjunction with Southlake Regional Care Centre.

Call duties would include seeing new hematology referrals for patients admitted to hospital or the emergency department.
