ASTS 21st Annual State of the Art Winter Symposium

Jan 14 10:00 AM - Jan 16, 4:00 PM 2021

Jan 14, 2021 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Address: Virtual

To disseminate the latest science in transplantation surgery while safeguarding the health and safety of attendees, we have decided to hold the 21^st Annual State of the Art Winter Symposium virtually. Beginning on January 14, the sessions you’ve come to expect and enjoy—along with some innovative new ones—will be available from the comfort of your home or office. This format will allow more flexibility and an opportunity for those who are not able to travel. In addition, we can enjoy new ways of connecting and interacting while looking forward to our next in-person connection.

Please plan to join us for this first-ever virtual meeting dedicated to the art and science of transplant surgery!

Thank you to the Winter Symposium Planning Committee for their hard work developing this new version of our winter meeting. Stay tuned for more details!

Sincerely,

Marwan S. Abouljoud, MD, FACS, MMM
