Osler Blood Bank Lecture 2012

If you are thinking of attending the Osler Institute Pathology Review Course and are wondering whether or not I will be giving the blood bank lectures, this page will give you a bit of early information about my schedule for 2012.

As of now, the Osler Institute has not announced the schedule for their Pathology Review courses in 2012. As a result, it is too early for me to tell you my schedule. Typically, I will be lecturing at the courses in Los Angeles and Tampa, and usually those in Chicago. I do not usually go to the course in Philadelphia.

If you are interested, you can download the notes for last 2011 course (Tampa, October 2011). The notes will be updated again before the first course of 2012, but you are welcome to these if you so desire.

Please believe me when I tell you that I'm not arrogant enough to believe that any of you are sitting at home saying, "If that Chaffin guy ain't talking, I ain't going!", but I just wanted to give you fair warning of when I will and won't be at the individual courses, in case you care! Check back here for updates. Thank you for your understanding.
