Overview
The MD in Immuno Haematology & Blood Transfusion at GMC Jammu is a focused three-year postgraduate programme designed to develop specialists in transfusion medicine and immuno-haematology. Trainees will gain in-depth exposure to blood banking operations (donor screening, component preparation, storage, distribution), immunological testing of blood and cellular products, antigen-antibody systems, haemovigilance, emerging transfusion technologies, and therapeutic transfusion practices (e.g., in haemato-oncology, haemoglobinopathies, surgery). The government college setting ensures exposure to a substantial clinical and laboratory workload, including hospital transfusion services and community blood donation camps, which enhances practical experience. The tuition fee listed for this course is around ₹ 59,130 (for full duration) according to one source. Intake is modest (2 seats listed in a recent listing). Pursuing this programme positions graduates for roles in hospital blood-transfusion services, teaching and research in immuno-haematology, and leadership in blood-bank management or clinical transfusion therapy.
