New IPITA Educational Initiative
On behalf of the International Pancreas and Islet Transplantation Association (IPITA) Council, we would like to share with you an exciting new initiative, the "IPITA Curriculum on Pancreas & Islet Cell Transplantation".
A main focus of IPITA is to promote training in the field of pancreas and islet cell transplantation and it is our hope that this new initiative will advance this goal.
We developed this curriculum in collaboration with investigators and clinicians from around the world with the purpose of providing the community with a comprehensive educational resourse both for trainees, and seasoned professionals in our field seeking to update their practice.
The curriculum is free for IPITA and TTS members through the member portal on ipita.org and tts.org. Those who are not yet members may signup for soley for the curriculum or sign-up and become a member of IPITA at the same time. We have priced the Curriculum to make this as attractive as possible to recruit new members.
