Academy Standards and Applications

Policies and standards for developing an Academy and applications to conduct future courses.

ISHLT Academies LogoThe purpose of the ISHLT Academy is to develop an enduring resource of education in core competencies and masters level expertise in the fields of cardiopulmonary transplantation, mechanical and biological support of the failing heart, advanced lung disease (including pulmonary vascular disease) and cell replacement therapy.

The ISHLT Academies draw on the wealth of experience and expertise within the Society to deliver high quality educational experiences with the goal of enabling our members to improve and maintain the highest possible standards in the care of patients with advanced heart and lung disease and those undergoing heart or lung transplantation or mechanical support device implantation.

This ISHLT Workshop is sold out but you can still register to join the waitlist.

In addition to the three academy courses being held in Prague, ISHLT is also offering a DEI Workshop, Transforming Transplantation: Building Paths to Equitable Care and Outcomes, on Tuesday, 9 April. The interactive workshop will explore the factors that influence and interfere with equitable access to transplantation and post transplantation care for patients. Transplant team members will also learn about historical and present forms of systemic bias and structural racism that influence the organ transplantation process. Robust evidence from multi-disciplinary research studies will be provided for multiple organs and countries.

This workshop is free to attend, but separate registration is required.
