Why Did You Choose Transfusion Medicine?
Transfusion Medicine provides a unique opportunity within Pathology and Laboratory Medicine to participate actively in patient care and work with other clinical services to optimize transfusion-related care.

Faculty are interested and invested in educating trainees. The Blood Management Program here is a large part of the service, and provides the opportunity to interact with clinical teams while learning about blood management and transfusion-related medical issues.
