In the tradition of POGO’s interdisciplinary Symposia, over 280 physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists and other Allied Health professionals came together for the two-day event to discuss clinical and scientific advances in transplantation, ethical considerations/implications and the impacts of transplantation on the daily lives of the patient and family, before, during and after treatment.
