Coordinating the Future: Mismatched Unrelated Donor Transplants in the Modern Era

Session overview

Our panel of experts address the key challenges, findings and advancements in mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) transplant. A panel discussion features transplant coordinators from two transplant centers experienced in MMUD transplant. They share their hands-on experiences, barriers they encountered and strategies they devised to overcome barriers.

This session presented in 2023 during The ONE Forum® by NMDP℠ provides a rich learning platform for transplant coordinators, helping translate theory into practice, and empowering coordinators to streamline their efforts for better patient outcomes in the future.
