Education in transfusion medicine, aimed at clinical transfusion practice, is limited in most South African pre- and postgraduate medical training programs. A number of local and global factors impact on the need for and provision of transfusion medicine education programs in South Africa, which are discussed in this paper. A perspective is provided on the effects of issues such as global versus local training need, blood safety, appropriate use of blood in resource-restrained environments, the presence or absence of national blood policies, standardization of training, medical migration and workforce diversity. Harnessing support for the development of training programs for medical doctors and new opportunities for developing a career in transfusion medicine are discussed. Commentary is also provided on online learning, social networking and integration of modern paradigms of learning, such as screencasting and online learning, into teaching programs. This article should provide anyone in medical education or program development, in particular in the field of transfusion medicine, with an indication of the factors that should be considered when embarking on such an endeavor.
针对临床输血实践的输血医学教育，在南非大多数医学本科和研究生培训项目中都很有限。许多本地和全球因素影响着南非输血医学教育项目的需求和提供情况，本文将对此进行讨论。文中提供了关于以下问题影响的观点，如全球与本地培训需求、血液安全、资源受限环境下血液的合理使用、国家血液政策的有无、培训的标准化、医学人才流动和劳动力多样性。讨论了如何争取对医生培训项目发展的支持以及输血医学职业发展的新机会。还对在线学习、社交网络以及将现代学习模式（如屏幕录制和在线学习）融入教学项目进行了评论。本文应为医学教育或项目开发领域的任何人，特别是输血医学领域的人员，在着手开展此类工作时提供应考虑因素的参考。
