This training workshop is designed to explain the NetCord-FACT accreditation requirements to cord blood bank personnel and update current and prospective inspectors on inspection requirements. FACT representatives will be in attendance at this workshop to answer commonly asked questions, to clarify the intent of the checklist questions, and to assist applicants and potential applicants in organizing and preparing their program for a FACT-NetCord on-site inspection. Current and prospective inspectors will be encouraged to provide feedback regarding the inspection and accreditation process and stimulate discussion about effective and ineffective inspection practices and techniques.

Participants will be able to:
