NMDP Swab Drive

On Friday, October 3, during the lunch hour, APhA-ASP will be holding a Swab Drive for NMDP, formerly BeTheMatch. These cheek swabs will be used to input you into a database as a potential bone marrow and blood stem cell donor to help patients across the nation who have blood disorders and cancers. If you've already swabbed before, you're in the system and don't need to swab again. If you haven't participated, stop by! It shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes to complete the whole process.

When: Friday, October 3, 12:00 pm CDT

Where: Outdoors by the College of Pharmacy south entrance, Memphis campus, and College of Pharmacy west entrance, Knoxville campus

How: A quick cheek swab that will be entered into NMDP's national database, 10-minute time commitment
