IDTM and Sanquin: Master of Management of Transfusion medicine
The Academic Institute for International Development of Transfusion Medicine (IDTM) offers a Postgraduate Master: the Master of Management of Transfusion Medicine (MMTM). This master is intended for (potential) leaders of blood supply in countries with restricted economies. The program resulted from the WHO initiative to improve blood supply organizations in the world. In this program students follow a real time exposure fellowship of six months in one of the Sanquin Blood Supply regions in The Netherlands. The MMTM takes approximately two years.
The MMTM program is a collaboration between IDTM, Sanquin, the University of Groningen (RUG) and the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG).
