Thomas DeLoughery is a Professor of Medicine, Pathology, and Pediatrics at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), practicing within the Divisions of Hematology/Oncology and Laboratory Medicine at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. His clinical expertise spans blood disorders, hemostasis, thrombosis, and hematologic aspects of wilderness and sports medicine, supported by decades of active patient care at the Center for Health & Healing and Knight Cancer Institute locations in Portland.

His educational foundation includes:

• M.D. from Indiana University School of Medicine (1985)
• Internal Medicine Residency at Oregon Health & Science University (1986-1988)
• Hematology/Oncology Fellowship at Oregon Health & Science University (1989-1991)

Dr. DeLoughery's research focuses on practical clinical challenges in hemostasis and thrombosis management, iron deficiency across diverse populations, and wilderness medicine applications. He is renowned for developing widely adopted clinical handouts (e.g., "Clotmaster consensus," "DOAC Cheat Sheet") and authoring the third edition of the handbook "Hemostasis and Thrombosis." His educational leadership includes directing OHSU's medical school Blood Course and co-developing the Blood and Host Defense curriculum.

Analysis of his 2022-2024 publications reveals concentrated efforts in cancer-associated thrombosis prevention, iron deficiency management in obstetrics/gastroenterology, and wilderness medicine applications. His work consistently addresses real-world clinical dilemmas with translational impact, particularly in anticoagulation protocols and diagnostic approaches for blood disorders.

He has received multiple teaching awards for his medical education contributions and maintains active professional engagement through the Wilderness Medicine Society (6-year board service, research committee chair), American College of Physicians (Master status), and Academy of Wilderness Medicine (Fellow).

Dr. DeLoughery's interdisciplinary approach bridges hematology, oncology, and wilderness medicine, demonstrated through his Knight Cancer Institute affiliation and development of specialized resources for clinicians. His patient-centered philosophy is reflected in high satisfaction ratings (4.8/5 from 182 reviews) and practical clinical tools used nationally.
