Fellowship Program
This fellowship is a one- or two-year program offered jointly by
the Transfusion Medicine Division of The Johns Hopkins Hospital
Department of Pathology, The Johns Hopkins Oncology Hemapheresis
Center, and the American Red Cross blood services headquarters in
Baltimore.
Rotations provide exposure to both theoretical concepts
and practical experience in blood bank administration, donor procedures,
donor testing, reference immunohematology, platelet serology, transfusion
consultations, cytapheresis, bone marrow processing and therapeutic
apheresis. A clinically oriented research project is an integral
part of the first year and may be continued during the optional
second year. The goal of the second year is to prepare the fellow
for an investigative career in Transfusion Medicine.
Areas of research
include:
- platelet and red cell immunohematology,
- blood
donor and recipient epidemiology,
- alternative transfusion techniques,
and
- molecular biology of platelets and red cells
One position
is offered per year. The suggested program will qualify the fellow
to take the Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine Subspecialty exam
of the American Board of Pathology.
Requirements: Board eligibility
in CP, AP/CP or Hematology.
