Our Mission
BloodCenter of Wisconsin supports learning through active and didactic means. Clinical Education at BloodCenter advances medical and scientific knowledge of healthcare professionals by providing valuable educational opportunities that are accessible, of high quality and delivered by experts in the field.
Our Vision
Clinical Education at BloodCenter of Wisconsin will be a worldwide leader in advancing patient care by providing education relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of immunologic and hematologic disorders.
beLearningTM
BloodCenter has now launched a new web-based educational tool, beLearningTM, offered to physicians, laboratory professionals, nurses and scientists with programs focused on transfusion medicine, transplantation and benign hematology.
BloodCenter of Wisconsin offers day-long “wet workshops.” The aim of these programs is to provide education in new skills and problem-resolution techniques for medical technologists/laboratory scientists working in hospital blood banks/transfusion services. Participants perform, analyze, and interpret testing related to various topics in Immunohematology. These workshops are offered twice per year.
Lectures & Seminars
BloodCenter of Wisconsin provides several lecture and seminar offerings throughout the year. Speakers include internal and external experts from a variety of disciplines. Topics range from the latest advances in blood-related basic research to clinical application of diagnostic laboratory testing, and from quality processes in blood bank management to a review of the role of transfusion in managing sickle cell disease.
SBB program
The Specialist in Blood Banking Technology (SBB) Program at BloodCenter of Wisconsin gives students skills necessary to become successful blood bank supervisors or managers, educators, quality professionals and technical specialists. Credits earned during the two-year program can be applied toward a Master of Science in Transfusion Medicine degree at Marquette University.
Nursing Transfusion Practice
Nursing seminars are designed to promote the education of nurses with a focus on indications for transfusion, transfusion reactions and blood component administration. Seminars may include information about specific diseases and the special transfusion needs for patients with those diseases.
Scholarships
BloodCenter of Wisconsin is proud to sponsor the Joan Heimler Legacy of Life Scholarship Award for Critical Care nurses living and working in Wisconsin who provide direct care for patients and families who have made a decision to donate organs and/or tissue at end-of-life.
Fellowship Programs
BloodCenter of Wisconsin places education as a key value within its overall mission. We seek to advance the science and practice of transfusion medicine through both research and education. As part of these efforts, we sponsor several fellowship opportunities, each with specific objectives related to this mission.
