The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) continues its commitment to advancing care for individuals with end-stage organ disease and those living with solid organ transplants. With comprehensive programs across all major solid organs, UNMC brings together multidisciplinary expertise to improve outcomes and support the well-being of transplant recipients.

This year’s symposium, centered on “Health and Well-Being of Transplant Recipients,” features expert-led sessions and collaborative discussions focused on:

Cardiovascular Health
Fertility, Reproductive, and Sexual Health
Mental Health
Transitions Across the Lifespan
Immunosuppression Management
Monitoring Graft Function
Screening for Malignancy
Post-Transplant Life
Patient and Donor Perspectives

Designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, the symposium provides actionable insights to enhance the holistic care of transplant recipients.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

Describe state-of-the-art interdisciplinary approaches to the long-term management of patients living with solid organ transplants.
Evaluate emerging research, trends, and clinical practices in solid organ transplantation and their implications for patient care.
Identify opportunities for clinical and research collaboration, discovery, and program development in solid organ transplantation within the institution.

In support of improving patient care, University of Nebraska Medical Center is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
