Overview of the American Transplant Congress (ATC)

• To provide a forum for exchange of new scientific and clinical information relevant to solid organ and tissue transplantation.
• To create an arena for the interchange of ideas regarding care and management of organ and tissue transplant recipients.
• To facilitate discussions of the socioeconomic, ethical and regulatory issues related to solid organ and tissue transplantation.

A variety of formats are planned that will encourage the exchange of new scientific and clinical information and support an interchange of opinions regarding care and management issues, as well as socioeconomic, ethical, and regulatory issues relevant to organ and tissue transplantation.
