StemCyte CBB OB Training: Umbilical Cord Blood Collection Training for Public Donation

Thank you for your willingness to collect your patient's umbilical cord blood for public donation; a gift that brings hope to patients with life-threatening diseases who may need a transplant from a donated cord blood unit.

In order to collect cord blood for donation to a public cord blood bank, training and completion of assessment is required. Two opportunities are offered below: the first includes the training and assessment that fulfills this requirement, the second is an education activity.
