Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Workshop: Transforming Transplantation: Building Paths to Equitable Care and Outcomes

Presented by the ISHLT Foundation and supported by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
This interactive workshop will explore the factors that influence and interfere with equitable access to transplantation and post transplantation care for patients. Transplant team members will learn about historical and present forms of systemic bias and structural racism that influence the organ transplantation process. Through active discussions and presentations, a panel of experts will introduce and explain tools that practitioners can utilize to recognize and address these systemic issues. Participants will gain insights into how to advocate for patients and help empower patients to choose treatment strategies throughout their transplant journey.

ISHLT2024: ISHLT en Español - ¿Por qué el trasplante de corazón está detrás de los demás órganos en América Latina? (Non-CME)

Why is Heart Transplant Behind All Other Organs in Latin America?
La prevalencia de insuficiencia cardíaca es mayor en América Latina en comparación con otros continentes. Paradójicamente, los centros de trasplante de corazón están subdesarrollados, incluso en países con programas de trasplante establecidos. La cultura y la economía latinoamericanas plantean desafíos únicos que requieren soluciones customizadas. Esta sesión abordará estos temas con cinco presentaciones de 8 minutos seguidas de 20 minutos de preguntas y respuestas / panel de discusión con todos los oradores al final de la sesión, dirigidos por los moderadores. Esta sesión se llevará a cabo en inglés para estimular la participación de todos. CME no se ofrece para esta sesión.
