Transplant Infectious Disease Education

April 24, 2019

The transplant surgery APPs work very closely with the transplant infectious disease teams. However, there is a knowledge gap on the side of the transplant surgery APPs and they would greatly benefit from further education from the transplant ID teams to provide a more team-oriented and evidence-based approach to patient care.
