📢 New Resource from the AST!

The AST Pediatric Community of Practice has launched the AST Transition Toolkit — a comprehensive collection of resources designed to support adolescents and young adults as they transition from pediatric to adult transplant care.

Whether you're a transplant professional, caregiver, or patient, the toolkit offers practical guidance to promote education, independence, self-advocacy, and collaborative care.

Together, we can help young transplant recipients build the skills they need for lifelong success.

With the aging of both the transplant candidate population and the donor pool, clinicians increasingly face complex decisions regarding organ acceptance, candidate selection, and risk–benefit tradeoffs. Practices vary widely across centers, and clinicians would benefit from a structured framework to navigate these challenges. This webinar will provide a practical, evidence-based, and ethically grounded approach to decision-making in older donors and recipients, with emphasis on real-world clinical application.
