The Transplant Surgery Section works to provide standards and develop policies on all issues regarding transplant surgery.

The Section aims to foster excellence in the training and practice of transplant surgeons, and to manage training in Transplant Surgery in Australia and New Zealand.

The body also seeks to promote professional and community awareness and acceptance of organ and tissue donation for transplantation.

Activities

The Transplant Surgery Section developed a Council approved Position Paper Guidelines for Hospitals to assist in the Credentialing of Transplant Surgeons in Australia and New Zealand. The Position Paper provides credentialing guidelines for hospitals to ensure a high standard of training and practice is adhered to within institutions of Australia and New Zealand.

 Scientific and education programs are run at the Annual Scientific Congress (ASC).
