Fun times in the blood bank student lab! Some testing takes a long time to incubate. To pass the time, students did an activity that was both educational and artistic! Each student designed a trading cards featuring a red cell antigen or antibody to highlight their unique properties.

Today was a FridayFunday! The students reach back to last semester and their phlebotomy skills to draw each other so that next week they can phenotype their RBC antigens. Going far beyond their ABORh they’ll figure out Kell, Kidd, Lutheran, Duffy and more!
