The ASTS Leadership Development Program (LDP) is designed to provide clinical and administrative leadership with essential skills necessary to successfully lead transplant centers within a complex financial and regulatory environment. Key components of the program include an exposure to necessary business practices including cost accounting, financial analysis, and contracting; leadership skills including team building, strategic analysis, and institutional relationships; and an overview of the legal and regulatory aspects of transplantation.
The ASTS Leadership Development Program encourages joint attendance of transplant center clinical and administrative leaders. Effective cooperation among these professionals is crucial for the future of transplant center success. The program also welcomes industry attendees.

Located in the heart of Northwestern University’s Evanston campus, the James L. Allen Center is the home of the Kellogg School of Management’s Executive Education programs and hosts more than 6,000 executives annually. The Allen Center is designed to facilitate peer learning and informal interactions among faculty and participants. The Center is completely self-contained with classrooms, study group rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, lounge areas, snack rooms, laundry service, and an exercise room. The goal is to create a special environment for learning that anticipates all educational and logistical needs in a seamless fashion, thereby minimizing distractions from the learning experience.
