The Course is designed for laboratory directors, transplant

physicians and senior technologists involved in management

and development in transplant service.

The structured curriculum covers the theory and principle;

procedures; application and management in quality

requirements. Case sharing is also organized to guide

participants in practical problem solving. Participants should

have a background in immunology, immunogenetics and

histocompatibility. It provides essential information for those

who are preparing their laboratories for ASHI or similar

accreditation.

Lectures are conducted in English. Case sharing will be

conducted through interactive discussion. Participants are

encouraged to bring along their cases for sharing.
