Mission and Vision

The mission of the Department of Transfusion Medicine (DTM) is to provide high quality patient care and hospital services in support of NIH clinical research programs, to pursue research that contributes to our knowledge and practice of transfusion medicine and related technologies, and to provide advanced training in transfusion medicine. Together, these programs promote the basic goals of the Clinical Center, the NIH and DHHS: that is, to enhance the health and well- being of Americans.

We will achieve sustained excellence using our talents as innovators, inventors, investigators, and instructors to advance safe and effective transfusion practices, to train the leaders of tomorrow's science, and to deliver the services and products that make creative clinical research possible.
