Description: 

This webinar will highlight the many ways that non-transplant anatomical donations can also be lifesaving. We will delve into how they train future clinicians to prevent surgical error and medical complications, and how they are used to train transplant recovery teams, as well as transplant physicians performing life-saving operations. We will also discuss how research using these tissues results in earlier disease detection and improved treatments, and immediate application for emergency medicine professionals to save persons suffering from life-threatening injuries. The presentation includes videos and testimonials from the clinicians using these amazing gifts. 

Educational Objectives: 

At the conclusion of this educational activity, the learner will be able to:  

• Explain what is a Non-transplant Anatomical Donation Organization (NADO);
