Relevant Information

Each month, hundreds of members of the donation and transplantation community – including administrators, coordinators, physicians, nurses, surgeons, managers, quality improvement specialists, social workers, dieticians, and other healthcare professionals – participate in The Alliance’s Donation Focused Advancement Series for engaged learning opportunities. The topics presented are cutting edge and address issues impacting the donation and transplantation community.

The Donation focused Advancement Series explores topics that most relevant to organ procurement organizations and hospitals that care for donor patients.

Purpose

The purpose of the Donation Focused Advancement Series Faculty Workgroup is to ensure that the most current, evidence-based topics are selected for The Alliance webinars to be presented throughout the year. Additionally, the faculty selects content experts to present based on the topics identified. Lastly, the workgroup collaborates to identify strategies for increasing webinar participation.

These valuable webinars will ensure that healthcare professionals across the donation-transplantation continuum are equipped with best practices and strategies to effectively navigate their professional responsibilities.

The commitments of the faculty workgroups include:

  • Serve a one-year term with the possibility of continuing for a second term.
  • Identify topics and potential speakers for the yearly webinar calendar.
  • Serve as a moderator for a selected webinar.
  • Participate in quarterly, one-hour workgroup calls.
  • Attend the monthly webinars to assess and evaluate the efficacy and ongoing needs.
  • Actively communicate webinar opportunities to your colleagues and encourage organizational participation.
