As of March 2016, all new California Cryobank donors have completed a comprehensive assessment including a Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) and clinical interview administered by one of Cryobank’s licensed mental health professionals. Prior to this date, all donors have completed multiple interviews with experienced Cryobank donor coordinators, genetic counselors, and physicians who have been trained to make non-clinical determinations on a donor’s emotional and psychological readiness to participate in our program.
A basic criminal background check is also performed during the donor qualification process.
