Caitlin Raymond: Framing Donor Eligibility as Risk Assessment

Caitlin Raymond, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Transfusion Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, shared on LinkedIn:

“Donor infectious disease eligibility sounds straightforward — until it isn’t. I just published a new post for trainees framing donor eligibility as risk assessment, not a checklist — the way boards expect you to understand it and the way it actually works in practice. In this post I cover:

  •  Why some pathogens get NAT, others don’t.
  •  Why some are tested once, others every donation.
  •  Why donor history still matters in the era of ultra-sensitive testing.

If you work in transfusion medicine, blood banking, pathology, or are studying for boards, this one’s meant to connect the dots between regulations, biology, and real-world decisions.”
