NATCO AudioCast

 

We are excited to announce a new member benefit now available in the NATCO Academy:

 

NATCO AudioCast: Courage and Character, Leaders and Legends, a special series of interviews originally published in Progress in Transplantation. These inspiring conversations were conducted and written by Linda Ohler, Editor-in-Chief of the journal from 1994 to 2016. Throughout her tenure, Linda spoke with many of the most influential leaders in organ donation and transplantation, individuals who forged new paths, broke barriers, and made extraordinary contributions to the field.

 

We are proud to bring you this historical collection, capturing the voices and stories of the men and women who shaped our profession, all with courage and character. 

 

Now available: Seven interviews, with more to be released in the coming months:

 

• An Interview with Dr. Thomas Starzl
• An Interview with Robert Montgomery, MD
• An Interview with Velma Scantlebury, MD
