Hi, Osler Survivor!

So, you've lived through the Osler course. Congratulations! My guess is that your head is swimming with an enormous number of facts that you are quite certain that you won't remember tomorrow! That's OK. Trust me. It's NORMAL!

I'm glad you are here, but honestly, I'm actually amazed that you're interested in blood banking at all after sitting what must have felt like approximately eighteen hours of my rambling! I am in process of adding new stuff to the site as often as I can. Please check out the blood banking glossary, self-quizzes, transfusion reaction presentation, and especially, the podcasts! In addition, you will always find the most up-to-date version of my review notes on this site. You can also find me on Facebook or Twitter (see links at right)

Finally, thanks for sitting through my lectures! I truly value the interaction that I have with people who attend the course, and I hope that I didn't bore you too much. I'd love to have your feedback on the site, as well as whether the information I covered in the lectures was useful to you for your exam preparation. To be clear: I'm NOT asking you to tell me any exact questions from the boards! However, if there was something of value for your exam preparation in my lectures or notes, it was at least partly because someone else clued me in to popular areas of interest. You can email me through my contact page.
