Job Details
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Boston Medical Center (BMC) is recruiting a Transfusion Medicine Physician to join the blood bank and transfusion medicine service. The successful applicant will also receive an academic appointment at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine (BUCASM), at the rank of Assistant Professor.
BMC’s blood bank laboratory is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies (AABB), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). It operates 24 hours a day and transfuses approximately 13,000 products per year to support both adult and pediatric patients, a Level 1 trauma center, heme/onc, transplant, and ob/gyn services. The apheresis consultation service performs approximately 300 procedures per year including red cell and plasma exchanges, and leukocytapheresis for both autologous stem cell transplants and other cellular therapies including CAR T-cells.
The applicant will report to the current Blood Bank Medical Director and share clinical service coverage as well as educational responsibilities, including didactics and service-related teaching for pathology and laboratory medicine residents, and interdepartmental teaching of BUCASM students and residents (e.g., general medicine, nephrology, hematology/oncology, surgery, dental, etc.). Pursuit of clinical and/or translational research is also expected.
Located in the historic Southend neighborhood, BMC is a 514-bed teaching hospital for BUCASM. Some of its many distinctions include: the largest safety-net hospital in New England, the largest Level I trauma center in New England, Sickle Cell Center for Excellence, and International Amyloidosis Referral Center.
Candidates historically underrepresented in medicine are strongly encouraged to apply. The Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine firmly believes that the cultural and social diversity of our faculty, residents, staff and students is vitally important to the distinction and excellence of our clinical and scholarly work. As a department and institution, we embrace and champion anti-racism, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
Required SkillsThe qualified applicant should possess an M.D., D.O., or MBBS with board certification (or board eligible) from the American Board of Pathology (ABP) in Blood Banking/Transfusion Medicine, and be eligible to practice in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is an excellent opportunity for early career clinical pathologists with experience in blood banking, apheresis, and cellular therapy. Experience in coagulation is also desirable but not required.

The Difference Is Our DNA
What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.
A Community Unlike Any Other
As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.
Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.
Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.
Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.
World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.
A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.
The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
