Mark Angel Magracia

I am the System Blood Bank & Transfusion Services Technical Specialist at Legacy Health - Labcorp in Portland, Oregon, and a Philippine Registered Medical Technologist (RMT) and internationally certified Specialist in Blood Banking (SBB). My work focuses on complex immunohematology, transfusion safety, red cell phenotyping, the prevention of blood group misphenotyping and I like to engage in educational activities. I serve on the AABB Education Accreditation Advisory Committee, am a member of the AABB Technical Practices Serology and Genomics Working Subgroup, and the AABB Global Transfusion Forum. Through the Global Transfusion Forum, I am collaborating with international colleagues to advance Sustainable Blood Banking Education Through Distance Learning, an initiative aimed at expanding access to evidence-based transfusion medicine education for laboratory professionals in low- and middle-resource countries. I have been invited to present at national and international conferences
