Recovery Workshops
IIAM provides gratuitous surgical training to our recovery partners. Each year, IIAM hosts 1-2 Recovery Workshops providing educational training to experienced procurement staff about organ recoveries for research. These 2-day workshops include: a hands-on cadaver lab for surgical skill development, and classroom didactics on the importance of offering the option of donation for research to donor families. The workshop also serves to educate recovery staff about the many purposes of organs for research. IIAM's next recovery workshop will be held June 4-5, 2012 at the MERIN facility in Henderson, NV. Please Email: Mike Vara for more information.
CMS Regulations
Back in January 2007, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced a measurement on organs placed for research. In addition to recovering viable organs for transplantation, organ procurement organizations are now being assessed by CMS for placing organs for research. IIAM continues to identify new researchers to help ensure that each referral translates into an opportunity to advance medical research.
IIAM provides complete educational and informational support for recovery programs and referral sources interested in offering donors the option of research donation.
- In-service training for personnel
- Hospice and nursing staff education and information
