Transfusion Medicine Fellowship

An opening for a one year Blood Bank / Transfusion Medicine fellowship is available for the academic year beginning July 2025, July 2026 and July 2027

The Marie M. Keeling Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine Fellowship at the University of Louisville Health Sciences Center is an ACGME-accredited fellowship program integrating academic and community medical centers with blood center training. The trainee will gain comprehensive experience in adult and pediatric transfusion medicine throughout the UofL Health hospital system and affiliated teaching hospitals (including Norton Childrens Hospital, which is a 300-bed full service pediatric hospital). These hospitals support cardiopulmonary surgery, solid organ and bone marrow transplantation, adult and pediatric trauma, neonatal and pediatric programs, and an HLA laboratory. The fellow will also rotate though the American Red Cross Blood Services, River Valley Region, for robust training in whole blood and apheresis collection, component manufacturing, compliance/regulatory, and complex reference laboratory immunohematology patient work ups. In addition to blood bank training, the trainee will also spend time in the specialized areas of peripheral stem cell and bone marrow transplantation (adult/pediatric) and HLA laboratory. Research opportunities are available in transfusion medicine and related disciplines. The training program provides the necessary experience to develop the expertise in transfusion medicine for medical director duties in a community blood center or hospital transfusion service
