Congratulations to our whole incredible interdisciplinary team! Still a few days to go in 2023…
The Toronto Lung Transplant Program has just completed 213 lung transplants in 2023. We broke our own world record for number of transplants in a single year (212 in 2019). I’m sure 2024 will be another great year! @UHN @UHNTransplant @UHN_Surgery @TrilliumGift @ISHLT @AATSHQ

It has been such a privilege to get to do this work and collaborate with amazing people! Conversations about end of life can leave an indelible mark on our patients and families and profoundly affect their care and must be done well. They take skill and practice.
Supporting patients through end-of-life is part of critical care. But how are these complex conversations had? #UofTDoM's Maria Jogova, Dominique Piquette & Christie Lee have developed a curriculum for physicians for conversations about end-of-life: deptmedicine.utoronto.ca/new…
