APMG pathologist and transfusion medicine specialist Dr. Thomas G. Hirose will present at the American Red Cross Fall 2014 Community Education Program in Long Beach, CA. His presentation will cover essential concepts in Practical Hemostasis and Thrombosis for the CLS Case Studies in Coagulation. Given the sheer number of patients undergoing blood transfusions each day, an understanding of hemostasis and thrombosis is absolutely vital in healthcare; all interested physicians are welcome to register for and attend this program on October 9th, 2014 at the VA (Veterans Administration) Center in Long Beach.

The program will cover additional topics, including the California Blood Bank Society Disaster Response Plan, Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI), Blood Group Systems and Transplant-Related Hematologic Concepts.
