| Abstract | tBackground: Blood transfusions are one of the most performed medical procedures in theworld. Thus, as education in transfusion medicine is vital to medical care, it should aim topromote a responsible practice with the rational use of blood by doctors. This study aimsto investigate the situation of the teaching of transfusion medicine in medical schools inBrazil.Method: The websites of the 249 Brazilian medical schools in operation in June 2015 werevisited and the curricula of the medical courses were investigated in respect to the presenceor absence of a transfusion medicine discipline. When available, the subject grids wereanalyzed to verify whether a description of content regarding transfusion medicine wasgiven within other disciplines.Results: Of the 249 medical school sites visited, information on the curriculum was obtainedfrom 178. Of the medical schools that published their curriculum, 132 (74.1%) did not havedisciplines of transfusion medicine or hematology and only seven (3.9%) had a discipline oftransfusion medicine in the curricular grid.Conclusions: Education on transfusion medicine is of fundamental importance for safe andefficient transfusion practices. Deficiencies in medical knowledge of this subject have beenfound worldwide. The results of this study indicate a possible deficiency in teaching thebasics of this specialty. Thus, additional prospective studies to assess the knowledge andpractice of transfusion medicine in Brazilian medical schools are warranted, which couldprompt a discussion on the importance of offering training in transfusion medicine tomedical students. | en_US |
