Limited Supply, Increasing Demand: Expanding Organ Donation
January 14 – 17, 2016
Loews Miami Beach Hotel, Florida
As more patients suffer due to the shortage of life-saving donor organs each year, the American Society of Transplant Surgeons is focusing its Winter Symposium on innovative science and effective public policy to combat this crisis.
Abstracts and videos should be related to clinical or basic research, surgical technique, or surgical practice that is new, innovative, or visionary. Abstracts and videos that address basic but controversial aspects of surgical management are also encouraged.
You may submit as many abstracts as you wish. Abstracts presented or accepted for presentation by a young investigator (defined as a medical student, resident, or fellow) at an ASTS or AST national meeting within the previous year may also be submitted to the American Transplant Congress (ATC). All abstracts are blinded for peer review and ranked on the basis of scientific merit.
Top Abstracts will be selected to present at the Mini-Oral Abstract Session or Oral Abstract Sessions I and II during the Winter Symposium. For complete selection criteria, please see the Winter Symposium webpage.

All persons who submitted abstracts will be notified by mid-November whether their abstract has been selected for oral or poster presentation. All abstract presenters must register for and attend the ASTS 16th Annual Winter Symposium. All Trainees receive complimentary registration to the Winter Symposium.
