The Michigan Association of Blood Banks (MABB) created a lecture series for Specialist in Blood Banking (SBB) certification due to school closures. This program successfully met the needs of technologists seeking SBB certification through experience.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Clinical Laboratory Science

Background:

  • The closure of the sole Specialist in Blood Banking (SBB) School in Michigan created a need for alternative training pathways.
  • Technologists seeking SBB certification via the experiential route required comprehensive educational resources.
  • The Michigan Association of Blood Banks (MABB) identified this gap in specialized blood banking education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and administer a comprehensive lecture series for SBB certification through experience.
  • To cover essential blood banking topics not typically included in formal SBB schooling.
  • To provide a cost-effective and accessible educational alternative for blood banking technologists.

Main Methods:

  • A series of over 60 lectures, each 1.5 hours long, were delivered weekly.

  • Content spanned genetics, immunology, serology, collection, administration, and transfusion medicine, excluding infectious disease testing.
  • Volunteer experts delivered lectures with established learning objectives; supplementary seminars and a self-study module were also offered.

    • Main Results:

    • The lecture series attracted 32 registrants, with additional participants for specialized seminars.
    • The program generated $5,100 in revenue against approximately $2,400 in expenses.
    • The high demand indicated a significant need for alternative SBB training programs.

    Conclusions:

    • The MABB lecture series successfully provided an alternative educational route for SBB certification.
    • The program's popularity underscores the demand for flexible and accessible training in blood banking.
    • This model demonstrates a viable solution to address educational gaps caused by the closure of formal SBB schools.
