Recovery Workshops
I thought the Recovery Workshop was great. It was so informative for ME to hear the issues these recovery folks encounter and also to talk to them about all that we do. The Workshop enabled me to have one-on-one conversations with so many OPO staff and identify what both sides experience. … Great group of people, well done, and something I have already recommended that we support in the future. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to attend. |

With dedication to education and appreciation for the extraordinary time and emotion our recovery partners experience for the sake of saving lives through transplantation and research, IIAM provides gratuitous, surgical recovery training to our recovery partners. These annual workshops enable these unspoken heroes to receive training and additional education about recovery techniques for research organs, and the vast and positive impact of organ donation for research.
Each year, IIAM hosts 1-2 Recovery Workshops providing educational training to experienced procurement staff about organ recoveries for research. These 2-day workshops include: a hands-on cadaver lab for surgical skill development, and classroom didactics on the importance of offering the option of donation for research to donor families. The workshop also serves to educate recovery staff about the many purposes of organs for research. IIAM s next recovery workshop will be held on March 2-3, 2010 at the Medical Education Research Institute of Nevada, MERIN, in Las Vegas.Please Email: Gina Dunne Smith for more information.
