We currently have more than 500 members from across the country in all transplant fields, in clinical practice and scientific research.

Our conference is structured to incorporate the many diverse groups involved in transplantation in Canada: Special interest groups (allied health, donation, heart, liver, kidney, lung, pancreas, HLA, pediatric, pharmacists) CORR – annual report CST clinical and basic sciences sessions and abstract presentations Industry sponsored Symposia.
