The International Board of Blood Management shall strive to promote education and sound scientific principles to advance the safe and competent practice of perioperative blood management, which will lead to recognition of this specialization through examination and certification.
To address the absence of a formal certifying agency, and improve the safety and care that blood management clinicians provide to their patients, AmSECT is working closely with the AABB to coordinate this rapidly developing field. During the past two years the Perioperative Blood Management Taskforce, consisting of over 70 members from diverse clinical specialties, has worked diligently to create a process for formal recognition of individuals involved in blood management. One of the first steps was the creation of the International Board of Blood Management that has as its mission “to promote education and sound scientific principles to advance the safe and competent practice of perioperative blood management, which will lead to recognition of this specialization through examination and certification".
