2012 AABB/SABM Webinar Series
AABB and SABM are proud to offer a new webinar series focused on Patient Blood Management. Covering topics such as an overview of a patient blood management program; case studies in obstetrics, ICU patients and hematology/oncology patients; and collecting and analyzing data on patient blood management, this 8-part series features one program on the second Thursday of each month from January to August. Experts in the field of patient blood management will share their knowledge and experience with the audience while answering questions from program participants.
