Perioperative Care in Liver Transplantation

This one-day course held each October is during the American Society of Anesthesia annual meeting. The theme of the course varies each year, but past topics include issues in critical care medicine, case presentations, donation after cardiac death, and hepatitis C.
Research Scholarship ($20,000)
This award provides money for travel and training in liver transplantation. The award helps fund the recipient for training in liver transplantation (either transplant hepatology or transplant surgery, anesthesia/critical care, or basic science) under the tutelage of an ILTS member. The goal is to encourage a career in academic liver transplantation.
Lectureship in Emerging Countries

This ILTS initiative helps fund ILTS lectureships to official transplant meetings in countries where liver transplantation programs are being developed.
The first recipients in 2008 were the Pan Arab Congress in Amman, Jordan, and the Brazilian Congress of Liver, Pancreas, and Intestine Transplantation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
In 2009 we sponsored a one day program in Delhi, India as part of the Indian National Society of the Study of Liver Disease annual meeting.
