The specialty for laboratory hematology has been difficult to define in Japan, since both the clinical laboratory physician and clinical hematologist usually engage in this field. I propose herein that the specialty for laboratory hematology belongs to laboratory medicine. This makes it possible for the clinical laboratory physician to provide active medical assistance for laboratory diagnosis of hematological disorders so that the clinical hematologist can effectively perform practical management of the patient. For this purpose, I describe the program of postgraduate education for doctors in laboratory hematology. General instructional objectives (GIOs) and specific behavioral objectives (SBOs) are proposed to set the education program for clinical laboratory physicians and to establish the specialty of laboratory hematology in Japan. For the establishment of this system, the committee for the Japanese educational program for the medical board should authorize this newly developed conception for the clinical laboratory physicians who work in the hematology laboratory.
在日本，临床检验医师和临床血液科医生通常都涉足血液学检验领域，因此很难界定实验室血液学这一专业。在此，我提议实验室血液学专业应归属于检验医学。这使得临床检验医师能够为血液系统疾病的实验室诊断提供积极的医疗协助，从而使临床血液科医生能够有效地对患者进行实际管理。为此，我描述了实验室血液学专业医生的研究生教育计划。提出了总体教学目标（GIOs）和具体行为目标（SBOs），以制定临床检验医师的教育计划，并在日本确立实验室血液学专业。为建立这一体系，日本医学委员会教育计划委员会应批准这一为在血液学实验室工作的临床检验医师新制定的理念。
