Discussion

DR ERIN MAYNARD (Portland, OR): For many years, the adequacy of transplant fellowship training was measured by the number of cases the fellow performed. Although this is the default of many surgical programs/specialties, we all know that increased numbers do not always reflect competency. The American Society of Transplant Surgeons, along with the Transplant Accreditation and Certification Council, have spent a considerable amount of time over the last few years working on what certification will look like for future transplant fellows.
