In this session, we will review similarities and differences between two segments of the non-transplant donation field. Our speakers, Gina Dunne Smith and Corinne Bell, will discuss how transplant and non-transplant donation organizations can work together to extend the reach of donation through ground-breaking research, hands-on training for surgeons, and much more.
