Upon request, MBC is proud to support individuals in MLS, MLT or SBB programs who are in need of a clinical rotation at a blood center. The rotation may include both the theory and application of donation collection, component preparation, donor testing and quality assurance, antibody identification, and specialized testing in the immunohematology reference laboratory.  To request a clinical rotation, contact us.

MBC provides a comprehensive rotation to local transfusion medicine fellows.  Fellows are guided by MBC medical staff and other blood center experts as they receive an overview of blood center operations with special concentration on donor infectious disease testing. This rotation also includes discussion and observation in blood center departments including donation collection, stem cell collections, component processing, the immunohematology reference laboratory and quality assurance. For more information, contact us.

Behind-the-scenes tours of the donor center and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities offer hospital staff, students of laboratory programs, area residents, community groups, high school students, and others an opportunity to see donor services, blood component processing, and the distribution department.
