Membership

Our Members

Our membership has a very diverse geographical background, with 77% of members living in the USA, 12% in Canada and 10% living in Europe. 36% percent of our members classify themselves as transplant coordinators, 26% as staff nurses, 13% as clinical nurse specialists, 5% as charge nurses or team leaders and less than 5% are employed by a pharmaceutical company or have an interest in organ procurement. Abdominal transplantation including liver, kidney, pancreas and small bowel have the highest representation with over 65%. Thoracic transplantation including heart and lungs represent the remaining 35%. We try to offer a continuum of care from pre-transplant through post-transplant with our meetings, and have had great success in offering education modules to those who work in adult as well as pediatric transplantation.
