Forward7th Annual Solid Organ Transplantation Research Symposium
This educational symposium will showcase updates in state-of-the-art basic science and clinical/translational research works in organ transplantation and immunobiology by scientists and investigators from MCW, FH, CHW, Versiti, and other academic surgeons from regional transplant programs, who are qualified to report on up-to-date topics. Organ transplantation is a durable life-saving modality. Organ shortage in the United States is the principal limiting factor in the expansion of organ transplantation. There is a need for multidisciplinary collaborative organ transplantation research to develop innovative strategies to a) increase the number of transplantable organs and; b) improve patient outcomes after transplantation.
The ongoing organ shortage in the United States results in more patients dying while waiting for organ transplantation. Gaining knowledge in state-of-the art innovations in solid organ transplantation will result in improving patient and graft outcomes.
Target Audience
General Surgeons, Physician Assistants, Allied Health Care Professionals
Learning Objectives
- Identify transdisciplinary collaborators to address the current solid organ transplant shortage.
- Integrate new developments in organ transplantation immunobiology into my clinical practice.
- Critique innovative treatments to improve patient and graft outcomes.
