Bringing together the minority
community to help save lives.
Currently, there are over 94,000 people awaiting a transplant. Minorities account for nearly half of those waiting for this life-saving gift. Since patients in need of a transplant are more likely to find a genetically compatible match within their own racial/ethnic group, particularly for kidneys and bone marrow, increasing minority donations is critical.
The American Society of Multicultural Health and Transplant Professionals is a multicultural organization who serves health and transplant professionals by providing leadership in a national capacity on matters of diversity facing the transplant industry.
Becoming a member has many benefits:
Professional Growth
Access to Resources
Educational Enhancement
Networking
Knowledge of Current Industry Standards
The ASMHTP Multicultural Initiative Improvement Travel Grant has been established to assist ASMHTP members, who are also staff of AOPO member OPOs, to improve multicultural outreach and consent in their donation service area.
The ASMHTP annual conference has been scheduled for September 17-19 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
