Transplant Update

For the past few years, the Multi Organ Transplant Program has demonstrated its commitment to health professionals in the community by organizing a one-day conference, Practical Approaches to the Management of Transplant Patients. Designed specifically to meet the needs of general practitioners and referring physicians who care for transplant candidates and/or recipients in the community, this program addresses topics and issues of specific interest to this audience.
