PHTS partnered with Heart University to create a training curriculum focusing on pediatric transplant. This curriculum includes 16 courses covering topics starting with the indication for transplant and pre-transplant evaluation to the surgical procedure and long-term management. This curriculum was assembled by 22 MDs and NP experts within the field of pediatric heart transplantation and provides an excellent foundation for understanding the current state of knowledge in pediatric heart transplants.
