Just wondering if anyone has experience with clinical med folks (internists, peds) that do transfusion medicine. I know the fellowship is open to those people but is more often done by pathologists. Is it a lab job or do they ever do clinical consultations similiar to hematologists only in a more narrow field? Are they usually full time with a blood bank? Thanks for any info.
