Topic: The evolution of multidisciplinary transplant teams
Subject: The complexity of care for transplant candidates and recipients requires highly skilled and specialized clinicians. Over the past 50 years we have learned that the care of this population is best met with a team approach. Teams have grown from surgeons and critical care nurses in the 1960s to teams of today that require multidisciplinary teams that include medical physicians, transplant coordinators, social workers, dietitians, pharmacists, and transplant administrators/directors. This presentation will discuss how transplant teams have evolved over the years to provide the multidisciplinary care needed to meet the complexity of care required by this population. Each team is best served by collaborative leadership which will be described in this presentation.
