It acknowledged the workforce shortages in transplant medicine and focused on empowering general nephrologists to handle more of the pre- and post-transplant burden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhat You Will Learn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe curriculum was practical and workflow-focused, aimed at clinicians who may not practice in a transplant center but manage these patients daily.
