About the Course

This course is designed to juxtapose representatives from the academic, clinical, political, regulatory, industry, patient advocacy, and research communities.  The format will inspire constructive debate on key issues in a highly visible and interactive environment.  Participants will acquire the knowledge to describe the current status of controversial issues in transplantation and consider their clinical implications with particular emphasis on the ultimate goal of enhancing patient care and research.

A key theme of this course will be to educate and mentor young investigators through content designed specifically for them.  These attendees will interact with some of the top investigators and thinkers in the field, which has the potential to enrich transplant outcomes and research in the future.

This course will focus on current issues in the field that are in varied states of transition, including factors influencing organ allocation, extending Medicare reimbursement for transplant recipients, the impact of increased oversight of regulatory agencies on quality of care measures, and areas that have an impact on special populations.  An additional key objective of the course will be to provide stimulus for subsequent interactions.
