Hi All,

I am curious about the medical oversight of your blood bank. If you have the time and inclination, please take this little survey.

1. Is your medical director solely a clinical pathologist or does he/she do anatomic pathology as well?

2. If your medical director also practices anatomic AND clinical pathology, what proportion of his/her time is spent on each?

3. Does you medical director review all your QC?

4. How many beds does your hospital have?

5. About how many red cells does your facility transfuse per month?

 

Thanks for your time!

1. He does both.

2. Mostly anatomic.
