Learning Objectives
The education sessions at the 2026 Annual Meeting are designed to provide insights and solutions for physicians and other health care professionals who practice in transfusion medicine and biotherapies, and to help them maintain and enhance their knowledge, skills and abilities.
By actively participating in the continuing education programming at the 2026 AABB Annual Meeting, physicians and other health care professionals should be able to:
Disseminate the latest developments in laboratory, clinical, and administrative practices in the fields of blood and biotherapies.
Foster conversations with colleagues to stimulate scientific research, enhance clinical practice and improve quality management to improve donor and patient safety in transfusion medicine and biotherapies.
Evaluate state of the art innovations in transfusion medicine and biotherapies.
Target Audience
Physicians, nurses, laboratorians, scientists, researchers, administrators, and other health care providers.
In order to claim CE or CME credit, participants will need to complete an evaluation for the overall activity (full meeting) and for each session that they attend or watch and for which they would like to claim credit. Evaluations will be available until January 31, 2027 at 3pm ET. After the posted deadline, evaluations will close and participants will not be able to claim CE/CME credit.
Attendees will have access to evaluations and the ability to claim credit through the online Annual Meeting website and the Annual Meeting mobile application. Instructions and access/login information will be provided by email.
Please note: Completion of only one session evaluation per concurrent session block is permitted. For example, if there are ten sessions offered in the same timeslot, you will only be able to complete an evaluation for one of them (these session numberes will all end with "-L" to signify a Live session). To earn CE/CME credit for the other sessions in the same timeslot viewed as on-demand, complete the on-demand session evaluation (all will end with "-O"). Daily registrants will only have access to the session evaluations for the day(s) they are registered.
AABB recommends completing evaluations after each session while the content is fresh in your mind. We value your feedback and will use it for future programming.
Access to complete evaluations will close at 3pm Eastern Time, January 31, 2027. After this date/time, you will not be able to claim credit for any sessions you attended/watched.
Once logged in, simply scroll through the complete listing of evaluations to find the evaluation for the session(s) you attended. Please select the suffix “-L” in the session number if you attended the session live, in person and “-O” if you watched the session recording online.
You must complete at least one session evaluation before you can complete the overall meeting evaluation. Completion of the overall meeting evaluation is required to generate your transcript/certificate of attendance. The overall meeting evaluation is found at the top of the session evaluation listing.
Credit amounts and types for each session are provided on each session evaluation. Credit types provided include Continuing Education for Physicians (PHY), Nursing (NUR), California Lab Personnel (CLP), Florida Lab Personnel (FLP), California Nurse (CN) and General Continuing Education participation (GEN) credit.
If you experience any issues or cannot access the evaluations, please contact us via email at professionaldevelopment@aabb.org.
The goal of the AABB Continuing Education Program is to support the AABB mission to advance the practice and standards in transfusion medicine, biotherapies, and patient blood management to optimize patient and donor care and safety. This goal is accomplished by producing relevant, high-quality, and cost-effective continuing education that enhances the knowledge, competence, and performance of physicians and other healthcare professionals. Through interprofessional education, learners engage with, from, and about each other's professions to strengthen collaborative practice and improve the quality, safety, and outcomes of patient- and donor-centered care.
In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by the Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies (AABB). AABB is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
