Pancreas Transplantation Committee

The Pancreas Transplantation Committee is charged with considering medical, scientific, and ethical aspects related to pancreas and pancreas islet organ procurement, distribution, and allocation. The committee will consider both the broad implications and the specific member situations relating to pancreas and pancreas islet issues and policies. The goal of the committee's work is to develop evidence-based policies aimed at reducing the burden of disease in pancreas candidates and recipients, increasing pancreas utilization, improving access to pancreas transplantation as appropriate, and improving the health outcomes of pancreas transplant recipients.

They contain documentation of all committee activity since the previous report to the board and also will include any recommendations that the board is requested to consider at that meeting. Certain recommendations may have been accepted, declined, or modified by the Board of Directors; therefore, please review the Executive Summaries of the board of directors' meetings to confirm the status of all committee proposals.
