Organ-Specific Communities

IPTA has established organ-specific Communities forums (Liver, Thoracic, Kidney, and HLA) providing our members an opportunity to contribute and enrich IPTA's activities. Organ-specific Communities are envisioned to spearhead guideline development, foster discussions on organ allocation, and delve into various specific other subjects.

IPTA Communities are designed to cultivate their own ideas and projects, drawing inspiration from the collective membership. IPTA members may join multiple Communities and also one Committee, and there is no attendance requirement for Communities.

Watch this space for upcoming organ-specific Community calls as the are scheduled...we invite all IPTA members to join!

If you are interested in being part of one of our organ-specific Communities, please join us on an upcoming call, or reach out to IPTA’s Section Manager, Katie Tait. Katie.tait@tts.org
