Teaching method

The teaching, seminars and practical work bring together courses which are necessary in understanding the bases of immunological mechanisms involving transfusion and special courses in transfusion practice. Practical work enables students to gain real experience.
Placements are undertaken in the transfusion centres of the Blood Service of the Red Cross and/or in the blood banks of the University Hospital. There is no limit on the number of placements : this allows students from developing countries to take part in the activities of transfusion centres. For certain students, the type of placement may have already been decided by the authorities in their country.

There will be an examination on the theory held after each module in accordance with arrangements recommended by the coordinator and with the current regulations. Practical work is assessed by the relevant placement director.
