Baylor Scott & White Presents at ATC 2024

The American Transplant Congress on June 1-5, 2024 in Philadelphia is a joint annual meeting of two groups: the American Society of Transplant Surgeons and the American Society of Transplantation. The forum, which brings together transplant physicians, scientists, nurses, organ procurement personnel, pharmacists, allied health professionals and other transplant professionals, exchanges new clinical information on tissue and solid organ transplantation and provides education on cutting-edge advances and research.

Baylor Scott & White Research Institute investigators and clinicians on the medical staff at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas and Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth will be involved in more than 25 presentations, scheduled talks, education sessions and discussions. The talks reflect the commitment of our experienced team at Baylor Scott & White Annette C. and Harold C. Simmons Transplant Institute to advancing clinical care and serving patients better across liver, kidney, uterus, pancreas, heart and lung transplantation, as well as administration of a high-volume transplant center.

A snapshot of talks and presentations with Baylor Scott & White involvement can be found below. Additional details about the annual meeting are on the event website.
