This curriculum provides an opportunity for self-paced learning on key topics throughout the donation pathway starting with identification and referral and it includes best practice recommendations, thoughtful patient, and family input and the most up to date organ donation science research.  

Who is the course for?   

Any healthcare provider who may interact with a patient and family during the donation process. This may include but is not limited to healthcare providers who work in the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit or provide Medical Assistance in Dying.
