Welcome to the Stem Cell Registry Training and Resource Page

Canadian Blood Services relies on volunteers and community recruitment groups to host and support stem cell recruitment events.  These events are crucial for growing the Stem Cell Registry and helping patients in need. 

Whether you are part of a volunteer team or a registered recruitment group, it’s essential to complete the required training. This page is your guide for recruitment teams seeking the necessary training to organize either a Stem Cell “Campaign in a Box” Event or a Stem Cell Registry Awareness Event.  

Please review the training modules and resources provided below. After completing the modules, fill out the training confirmation form .  If you complete both modules, only one form is needed.  

Module 1: Campaign in a Box

Campaign in a Box (CIAB) is a set of stem cell registration kits with buccal swabs, labels and instructions for registrants to complete at home. These kits are great to have on hand for those who have signed up to donate and are interested in more, as well as those unable to donate blood or plasma but are still interested in being part of Canada’s Lifeline.  You can set up Stem Cell Registry Awareness event to give registrants the freedom to either register and swab on site or take their kit home.

Below are the eLearning modules required for volunteers to run a Campaign in a Box Event.  Click the links to begin training.  When you have completed the modules, click the Training Confirmation Form button to confirm your training.  The form must be completed before you attend a CIAB event.
