Follow your Path: Transfusion Medicine I (Joe Chaffin/Blood Bank Guy)

We talked to Dr. Joe Chaffin, educator at Loma Linda University and creator of the Bloodbankguy website and podcast series. He talked to us about his medical education, his time doing clinical transition year, his training in transfusion medicine (and him being fortunate that he didn't have to do a fellowship), his experience in academia/private practice/independent blood centers, his mentors, what makes transfusion medicine unique (he trained in and practiced Surg path for years as well), different pathways in transfusion medicine, and resources for med students and residents.
