In May the NKFof Illinois is putting on an all day seminar regarding transplantation. Not just kidneys, but other organs as wll. There are different break out sessions of various topics to attend. Before  the seminar begins there is a presentation and one after lunch another presentation of a different speaker. I have attached the .pdf file of the brochure on all the information. There you will be able to ask questions from a few pharmacuetical reps, 4 transplant centers in the area, and a couple other organizations. If you do not have one in your area, share this with your NKF to possibly start one. I have been to 2 of these and 3 of them when it was more concentrated with dialysis.
