Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine Fellowship

This one-year ACGME-approved fellowship in blood banking and transfusion medicine offers comprehensive training in the fundamentals of immunohematology and blood banking, coagulation and apheresis.

Fellows primarily rotate through our pediatric and adult hospitals with active oncologic and solid organ transplantation services. A unique aspect of our program is that the transfusion medicine team directly participates in the care of pediatric patients with active bleeding and in developing perioperative coagulation management plans. Additionally, at Texas Children’s Hospital, the transfusion medicine team participates in daily clinical rounds with both the ECMO and VAD clinical teams.

Fellows will have the opportunity to manage anticoagulation, transfusions and adjunct hemostatic therapies on rotations. Fellows will also rotate through our regional blood center and reference laboratory for training in donor services, advanced immunohematology and cellular therapy. We offer extensive apheresis training in both inpatient and outpatient settings for the adult and pediatric populations. We also provide support for research and at least one national meeting for our fellows. Our clinically oriented fellowship program is ideal for candidates looking for exceptional clinical and laboratory training in integrative transfusion medicine and coagulation services.

We have 2 available positions for the 2027-2028 academic year.
