Training Program
Supporting your professional development every step of the way
LifeGift is committed to providing outstanding education and competency-based training to our staff and partners to enhance the donation process and maximize positive outcomes.
In 2020 we launched LifeGift Institute for the Future of Transplantation (LIFT) – our premier professional development and training program that aims to raise the team’s expertise in a variety of topics and protocols.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with the most talented and compassionate LifeGift staff and hospital and transplant center partners. All working in unison to support the mission of saving lives through organ, eye and tissue donation.
