This website is designed for anyone with an interest in learning more about Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine. Pathology residents, pathologists, blood bank fellows, clinicians, nurses, lab technologists, and SBBs, as well as those of you with no medical background at all should be able to find useful stuff here.

Dr Chaffin says: "I started this site over thirteen years ago, in 1998. My initial goal was to help pathology residents learn more about basic blood banking and transfusion medicine. Over the years, thousands of pathologists, clinicians, nurses, laboratory science students, and regular 'non-scientific' folks have visited in order to further their knowledge of blood banking."

"I hope that you enjoy the site and find it useful. Please take a minute to check out some of the cool things you can find here, and please let me know if there is anything I can do better. I love hearing from people who visit the site!"

It's simple: BBGuy.org's mission is to make blood banking and transfusion medicine as simple and accessible as possible.
