TRAINEE AND YOUNG FACULTY COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE (TYF COP)

Mission Statement: 

The Trainee and Young Faculty Community of Practice (TYF COP) has been established to provide opportunities for trainees and young faculty to actively engage with the American Society of Transplantation (AST). The TYF COP facilitates networking within the AST by connecting trainees and young faculty in the field of transplantation with peers and senior members to enable them to exchange thoughts, establish research collaborations, and participate in educational programs.

Visions
• Encourage members to share ideas through the online communities
• Increase mentorship and sponsorship of trainees and young faculty within the AST
• Sponsor educational activities to allow trainees and young faculty to enhance presentation skills, present novel research findings, and receive constructive feedback
