Committees
As the field of transplantation continues to evolve and face new challenges, ABTC is strategically positioning certification in transplant coordination and care. With four committees of volunteers from our membership and governing board, we encourage our members to join us in shaping the future of the ABTC certification program. Our committees play an essential role in helping us develop, administer and continuously update our certification exams and continuing certification programs.
The term of committee membership for each committee is three years. You must maintain your CCTC®, CCTN®, CPTC® ,CTP® or CTFC credential during your term as a committee member. ABTC committees include:
