This presentation will explain the collaboration process and system established for international tissue recovery training, its effectiveness and lessons learned. In 2013, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care wanted an integrated and effective tissue donation, banking, and transplant system for Ontario, and in 2017 tissue recovery was consolidated under Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN). The leadership team at TGLN had to develop a process to train all their recovery staff, this proved difficult due to very low donor numbers. TGLN decided that outsourcing training to an American OPO with higher donor numbers would be the most practical option for training and to learn best practices. LifeGift learned of the training opportunity and was selected as the OPO to train the TGLN recovery staff.
