American Society for Transplantation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The American Society of Transplantation ( American Society of Transplantation ) is an international organization of more than 3,500 transplant professionals who for the transplantation field used by itself research , education , advocacy , and organ donation promotion and development. This company is the largest professional transplant company in North America.

history

The history of the American Society for Transplantation begins in 1981 when the Society's charter members met at the annual meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN). At that meeting, a new society known as the American Society of Transplant Physicians (ASTP) was formed to meet the professional needs of a burgeoning group of transplant physicians . The American Society of Transplant Physicians was founded on May 10, 1982, membership was open to physicians and certain health professionals who shared an interest in transplant medicine and biology . In 1998, the American Society of Transplant Physicians changed its name to become the American Society of Transplantation and opened its membership to additional health professionals working in the transplant field.

Meetings and training

The Society's first annual meeting (called the American Society of Transplant Physicians ) was held in Chicago on June 3, 1982. In 2000, the American Society of Transplantation, in conjunction with the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, returned to Chicago and held the first American Transplant Congress . Since that time, the American Transplant Congress has met annually in a variety of North American cities and is currently the largest annual gathering for transplant professionals.

The first fellow transplant medicine symposium was held July 27-28, 1996 in St. Louis , Missouri . Renamed in 2015 to the colleague symposium on transplantation, this gathering gives clinic colleagues and specialist trainers, surgeons, research colleagues, pharmacists and other trainees the opportunity to take part in specialized scientific sessions and meet long-term transplant specialists in person.

The first winter symposium took place from February 13th to 17th, 1997 in Phoenix (Arizona) . As of 2013, the American Society of Transplantation's Winter Assembly has been designated the premier assembly on transplants.

In 2007, the core compulsory subject of transplant nephrology was launched as an online program jointly offered by the American Society of Nephrology and the American Society of Transplantation . The core compulsory subject focused on the key information needed to prepare for the American Board of Internal Medicine Nephrology exam and maintain certification exams .

In 2011 the web seminar series Timely Topics in Transplantation (T3-Timely Topics in Transplantation) began. The T3 web seminars can be viewed live or on demand and cover all transplant topics.

Transplant and Immunology Research Network

The American Society for Transplantation (AST) established the Transplant and Immunology Research Network to expand the scope, scope, and effectiveness of AST's existing research program. The Transplant and Immunology Research Network is the mechanism used by the American Society of Transplantation to identify, fund, and continuously support the most innovative research in transplantation and immunology.

Established in 2015, the Transplant and Immunology Research Network's Researcher Register is an online directory of doctors, scientists, and other medical professionals who conduct research in the field of transplantation and immunology. Researchers can use the registry to connect with others and ask questions, exchange ideas or collaborate on projects. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can use the registry to identify potential research partnerships.

Power2Save

Power2Save is an initiative of the association that works to raise public awareness of the importance of organ donations, the promotion of patient health and the funding of transplant research.

Power2Save is on a mission to eradicate organ rejection through medical research. By developing safer and more effective drugs, introducing new tests to help doctors improve therapies through drugs. So that transplanted organs are not rejected, Power2Save wants to transform organ transplantation from a treatment to a cure.
