Audioconferences 

Education within Your Reach!

AABB audioconferences enable thousands of professionals in transfusion medicine and cellular therapies to obtain timely information from recognized experts in the field. Learn the latest in the industry, at the lowest price, in the most convenient location - your facility! Take advantage of AABB's superior schedule of audioconference programs and register as an audioconference host site.

Site coordinators will have unlimited access for one year to the sync-to-slide version of the audioconferences their sites are registered for. Site coordinators will be able to log-into the Live Learning Center to review the audio-web version of the program to share the content with staff members who cannot attend the live program.

AABB has collaborated with the Society for the Advancement of Blood Management (SABM) to create a special Patient Blood Management-focused webinar series for individuals. As these are unique sessions, you will need to visit www.aabb.org/webinars to register online. Discounts are available when you purchase the entire series.

Leadership Management Audioconference Series for Individuals

Geared toward individuals, the Leadership Management Series highlights topics including employee performance, employee coaching, staff development and managing a diverse workforce. Continuing education credit will be granted to only those individuals registered for the program.
