Transfusion Medicine Techniques

NAIT's Transfusion Medicine series is designed to provide Combined Laboratory and X-ray Technologists with the skills necessary to perform transfusion testing and to enhance this skill previously obtained by Medical Laboratory Technologists. The first two courses within this series can be completed online from the comfort of your home. The third will be offered in a blended format, with theoretical content delivered online and face to face activities taking place at a medical laboratory with transfusion medicine testing capabilities.

To receive advanced authorization through the Alberta College of Combined Laboratory and X-Ray Technologists, CLXTs will be required to successfully complete all three courses and provide proof of completion to ACCLXT.
