In addition to basic knowledge, attention is also paid to patients with special needs who require transplantation and to the Nursing, Health Sciences, and Allied Health professional caring for this unique population.
The target audience will consist of the Nursing, Health Sciences, and Allied Health transplant professional in their early years and the more experienced professional that may want a refresher or to learn something new.
