NATIONAL REGISTRY of Autologous Blood TherapISTS (NRABT)
| Purpose and Goals | Registry/Re-registry | |
The Purpose of the National Registry of Autologous Blood Therapists (NRABT) is to provide ongoing documentation of education/continuing education of its members, provide membership benefits, and promote the overall aspects of autologous blood therapy. The Goal of the National Registry of Autologous Blood Therapists (NRABT) is to bring all individuals together in one forum that allows the further development of the specialty. |
