      The Virtual Blood Bank Intermediate course will cover advanced antibody identification strategies using evidence based critical thinking. The target audience is a Blood Bank CLS with current experience in antibody workup with recommended prior completion of the Blood Bank Basics course. At the completion of this course, participants will be able to select one or more appropriate test methods or strategies of identifying antibodies and selection of compatible blood.

      This is a remote learning course and will require participants to provide interactive dialog via online chat and audio response. Participants must be available to attend virtually both days of the course to earn CEUs.
