Dr. Lorraine Hamiwka is pleased to host the first ever pediatric multiorgan and multidisciplinary transplantation-focused symposium in a hybrid format<\/strong>, with the in-person component in Calgary, AB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This symposium aims to highlight current and emerging opportunities for moving the latest evidence in pediatric transplant research into action in Alberta and internationally. It will comprise a keynote speaker, additional lectures, panel discussions, interactive sessions, and networking. This program brings together world-leading researchers (from Alberta, nationally, and internationally), health professionals, and patient, family, and donor research partners who are at the leading edge of pediatric transplant research. This forum will highlight major developments in the science behind improved care, treatment, and well-being of patients and families prior to, at the time of, and following an organ transplant.\u00a0This event is free.<\/p>\n<\/div>
