A mainstay of this apheresis service is our robust preventative red blood cell exchange program serving pediatric and adult hemoglobinopathy patients. We perform collections for bone marrow transplant, CAR-T, and gene therapies, and we also offer extracorporeal photopheresis, plasma exchange, and LDL apheresis-all supported by our excellent and dedicated apheresis nursing division.

There is unique potential for customization of this role commensurate with experience and interest. In addition to core responsibilities, candidates may elect to exercise expertise in informatics, coagulation, or other domains within clinical pathology. The position offers a range of opportunities for medical directorship, program development, teaching, and research.

Faculty appointments with the University of Arizona-Phoenix College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic Arizona, and Creighton University School of Medicine are encouraged. Rank is commensurate with the candidate's qualifications.

Successful candidates will be board certified/eligible in Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine, with residency training in Clinical Pathology (preferred), Pediatrics, or Hematology/Oncology. Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively with team members, physicians, clinical lab scientists, nurses, caregivers, and the leadership teams to advance patient care and hospital mission are required. Qualifications include being licensed or eligible for licensure in the state of Arizona.
