Virtual Event Focuses on Future of Organ Transplantation
Registration is now open for a new program that will delve into the future of organs for transplant. Hosted by the Organ Donation and Transplantation Alliance, this virtual event will take place Tuesday, April 30, and will explore evolving or alternative therapies beyond traditional human donor transplants.
The forum will focus on the variety of significant clinical innovations in organs for transplant and the expected system implications associated with these innovations.
Topics to be covered include: xenotransplantation, organ regeneration and rehabilitation, 3D printing, cryopreservation and decellurization/recellurization. There will also be a focus on the future of organ allocation and logistics, ethical considerations and business models of organ procurement organizations and transplant centers as these developing technologies continue to evolve.
The agenda is now available. For more information or to register, visit the Organ Donation and Transplantation Alliance website.
Workshop Series Delves Into Healthcare Worker Wellness
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is offering a free three-part virtual workshop series to improve professional well-being for all healthcare workers. This event–to be held via Zoom on April 23, May 7 and May 21—allows participants to attend part or all sessions.
NIOSH, which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, offers six actions hospital leaders can take to improve healthcare workers’ well-being. Session participants will become familiar with the Impact Wellbeing Guide, developed by NIOSH, in partnership with the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, and tested in six CommonSpirit hospitals across the U.S., to support workplace improvements in hospitals.
