Description
Problem solving in the immunohematology reference laboratory area relies on effective use of test methods and the experience of the technologist and supervisor in the critical evaluation of the medical history, diagnosis, medications, serologic test results and molecular and other test results, as well as careful consideration of the clinical feature of the case. This program will "put it all together" for the participant and show how to effectively translate the findings.
