As part of our mission to promote the professional development of our members, NATCO encourages all members to submit abstracts, poster presentations, and articles for publication in Progress in Transplantation.
An essential component of the success of transplantation has been the infusion of sound research principles into the many aspects of organ procurement and clinical transplantation. NATCO supports and encourages ongoing research by its members through peer-to-peer interaction, and providing a forum to share knowledge through case studies and abstracts.
In order to help develop the skills needed to successfully publish or present on a national platform, NATCO offers several opportunities to learn. We have a webinar scheduled for 2020 discussing how to prepare to write for publication. Please sign up for this valuable opportunity.
