The AST Journal Club series provides a forum for open discussion of important papers in transplantation. AST Journal Clubs are sponsored by AST's Communities of Practice and Committees to encourage education, engagement, and interaction among AST members and non-members alike. These sessions include author presentations on a featured paper followed by a moderator-led Q&A panel discussion using questions summitted by the audience.
There is no charge to participate, but pre-registration is required to attend live. All AST Journal Clubs are added to the AST YouTube channel 2-3 business days after the live session.
The AST Journal Club series will often feature articles from the American Journal of Transplantation (AJT), the joint journal of the American Society of Transplantation (AST) and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS). Keep an eye out for these special "AST/AJT Journal Club" offerings! To learn more about AJT and how AST members can subscribe for free, or at a discount, visit the "Publications" page for details.
