University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Online Perioperative Blood Management Program
This program is available to anyone practicing perioperative blood management at any level. It consists of five (5) eight-hour days that include a mix of synchronous and asynchronous classroom activities. Sessions currently begin on a Tuesday and are refreshed each day through the completion on Saturday. There are brief live sessions each morning for 60 minutes followed by a 3-hour media rich "fireside chat" live interaction with faculty and staff of UNMC and the course participants. The sessions can be completed without taking a day off work; however, please recognize that each scheduled day is a full eight-hour experience.
