This is a Live Webinar NOT an in-person event

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The first successful organ transplant, a kidney transplant, happened sixty-five years ago. By the late 1960's, liver, heart and pancreas transplants were successfully performed and in the 1980’s lung and intestinal organ transplant procedures began. The years since the first successful organ transplant have seen remarkable advances in surgical techniques, pre- and post-operative care as well as the rehabilitative management of these patients.

This course will focus on the four most common solid organ transplantations seen in Rehabilitation Medicine (heart, lung, liver, and kidney). Due to the multiple medical complexities, one encounters when working with an organ transplant recipient, a "team" approach in managing these patients is critical. For each of these transplantable organs, a transplant surgeon, physiatrist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech language pathologist will discuss their role in managing the patient. The surgical approach, rehabilitation management, post-operative medical complications (including adverse effects of immunosuppressive drugs) and outcomes will be discussed.

This course will also highlight the key role that rehabilitation plays in restoring the organ transplant recipient's functional potential and maximizing their quality of life. Rehabilitation has never played a more important role in enhancing the potential of these patients. Success can no longer be measured by the number of years after transplantation but by the quality of those years. Transplant rehabilitation can add “life to years” serving as a vital complement to transplant surgery which adds “years to life”.
