ATI Weekly Seminar Series
The Alberta Transplant Institute Seminar Series is a forum for discussion of the latest advances in donation and transplantation and an opportunity to highlight the great work of Institute members. The series received accreditation from the Royal College in April 2022. Seminars are held in virtual or hybrid format. We have hosted local, national, and international speakers in medicine, nursing, philosophy, law, social sciences, humanities; from sectors including academia, health care, and not-for-profit; speakers with lived experience (patients, family, or donors) and trainees.
We thank Astellas for their support of the ATI seminar series!
