ISHLT Staff Liaison
ISHLT

ISHLT leverages the value of its interdisciplinarity to deliver on the Society’s mission by organizing into four core therapy/disease-focused practice areas called Interdisciplinary Networks (IDNs). Under the leadership of an Interdisciplinary Steering Committee, each of these Interdisciplinary Networks ensure that the mission and purposes of the Society and all of the activities pursued by the Society are reflective of the perspectives and needs of the entire health care delivery team.

There are four IDN Steering Committees:

  • Advanced Heart Failure and Transplantation IDN Steering Committee
  • Advanced Lung Failure and Transplantation IDN Steering Committee
  • Mechanical Circulatory Support IDN Steering Committee
  • Pulmonary Vascular Disease (PAH & CTEPH) IDN Steering Committee
