Biography

Dr. Shulman is professor and Vice Chair of Pathology at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC), Director of the USC Transfusion Medicine Services Group, and Director of Laboratories and Pathology at the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center.

He  received his baccalaureate degree from UCLA (graduating summa cum laude and elected to Phi Beta Kappa), his medical degree from the USC School of Medicine (elected to AOA), and completed Pathology residency and blood banking/transfusion medicine fellowship at the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center.

He is author or co -author of more than 100 papers, monographs, and books and book chapters, most of which deal with the clinical and laboratory practice of transfusion medicine. He has been active in the California Blood Bank Society (CBBS), the AABB, the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP), the College of

American Pathologists (CAP), and the Society for the Advancement of Blood Management (SABM).

He has served as chair of several state and national organizations’ committees, including the AABB Clinical Transfusion Medicine Committee, the Transfusion Medicine Resource Committee of the CAP, and the Council on Transfusion Medicine for the ASCP and has served as president of the CBBS and on the board of directors of CBBS, AABB and SABM.

Dr. Shulman has been recognized by the CBBS for his contributions to the field of transfusion medicine as a recipient of the ‘Upton -Hemphill Award’ and the ‘Owen F. Thomas Award’, and by the AABB as a recipient of the 'Hemphill-Jordan Leadership Award'.
