This presentation is for transplant professionals. It will review the process for organ donation to transplant surgery, with an additional focus on how organs are allocated throughout the US. This program will review the history of organ donation and transplant in the US, who can be an organ donor, at what point is the local organ procurement organization contacted and what they do to facilitate donation, and finally a review of the rules around organ allocation. Understanding this process is beneficial for transplant social workers to increase their knowledge on when and how organs are procured and allocated, as well as to best educate their transplant patients and families on how they will receive their gift of life.
