AABB Cellular Therapies Certificate Program

The program is intended for, but not limited to, individuals with a basic biological or medical science background. The online self-paced program contains professionally narrated presentations, videos, animations and additional reading resources.

Scenario-based questions are included in each of the modules to assess students’ understanding of the content presented. A review of all slides in each module and a passing score of 80% for all assessments is required. See a list of the contributing faculty and planners, their bios, and financial disclosures.

How the Enrollment Process Works:

• After registering, participants receive an automated email with a link to complete a brief GW application.
• After completion of the GW application, participants will be required to claim a GW NetID (instructions provided by GW).
  
  Enrollment begins on a monthly basis after students have completed the GW application and claimed their GW NetID (NetID must be claimed at least 2 business days prior to start of the month). Each new enrollment cycle, or cohort, starts on the 1st of each month.
  • Each new cohort starts on the 1st of each month for those that register by the 21st of the preceding month. For example, students who register for the program on December 19th will be enrolled to start the program on January 1 (assuming the student has completed the GW application and claimed their NetID prior to January 1). Students who register after December 21st will be enrolled to start the program on February 1 (assuming the student has completed the GW application and claimed their NetID prior to February 1).
• A discounted retake is available for students that do not successfully complete the program initially; contact eLearning@aabb.org to learn more.

99% of participants said the certificate program had a “moderate to high impact” on their competence/knowledge. The certificate program is also being used by regulatory agencies to train inspection staff.

“We have a bone marrow transplant program at the hospital where I work. This program helped me gain a better understanding of the whole process, from donor selection to infusion."

“As a recent graduate, the certificate program provided me with an in-depth knowledge about the cellular therapies field and its regulations.”

“I’m taking details from modules 1-4 to add to our annual competency assessment and initial training of new staff. We are going to use it to train our entire staff.”
