The Core Competency Course in Lung Transplantation will provided a detailed examination of the clinical practice of lung transplantation today. Through focused presentations with an emphasis on clinical practice, the course will provide historical context and cover candidate selection, donor management and organ procurement, post-transplant management and complications.

While all members are invited to enroll, this course is primarily designed to benefit health care professionals who are in the early stages of their careers, are in training, are part of a new program, or who desire an update on the current state of the field.The information presented is intended to provide a strong foundation of the core competencies of lung transplantation, rather than as a detailed update for those who are already proficient in the field.
