The fellowship accepts one trainee per academic year with a structured curriculum and dedicated teaching staff. During training, the fellow receives training in immunohematology, histocompatibility, paternity testing, donor center supervision, therapeutic apheresis, transfusion therapy, hemostasis, flow cytometry, and molecular pathology. The training is based upon participation of daily activities, consultations, various elective experiences as well as didactic teaching. The primary teaching site is a tertiary care teaching hospital, University Hospital System (UHS), which is a 800+ bed teaching hospital that provides transfusion services to diverse adult and pediatric patient populations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trauma (Level I trauma center)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solid organ transplant (liver, lung, kidney, pancreas)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General surgery and Specialty surgery services<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hematology &amp; oncology<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High risk obstetrical program<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High risk neonatal program (NICU Level I-IV)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General acute care and intensive care units<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At UHS, annually, over 18,000 red cell units, 8,000 plasma units and 4,000 platelet doses are transfused.
