Independent Living Donor Advocates (ILDA) Series

A 9-part series for beginner-to-seasoned ILDAs of any discipline.

This nine-part webinar series is targeted to Independent Living Donor Advocates (ILDAs) and transplant managers, but many transplant professionals will find this information valuable given the documented differences in practice, confusion about regulatory requirements, and dearth of available training materials.
