The Alliance is pleased to offer The Transplantation and Donation Sciences (TaDS) Master of Science in Biomedical Science (MSBS) Professional Science Master’s (PSM) Program at The University of Toledo’s current students access to Alliance learning programs that focus on best practices in donation and interdisciplinary perspectives in transplantation. TaDS is the only one of its kind in the entire country. This innovative and revolutionary program is strategically designed to train capable, qualified individuals in facilitating the entire organ donation process as Procurement Transplant Coordinators (PTCs).

The TaDS program is distinctive in that it offers two separate and complete tracks – a full-time, face to face (f2f) track for individuals without an OPO affiliation, and an all-online track for experienced individuals already working in the industry who desire to further enhance their administrative career goals by obtaining a master’s degree in transplantation and donation sciences from UT-COMLS. Additionally, the f2f track is set apart from other graduate programs as it is fully executed in less than one year, offering graduates 100% job placement upon successful completion of their clinical internship experience. The all-online track offers full-time workers the advantage of completing the degree at their own pace, allowing versatility for active lifestyles.
