Request for ITNS Members for Research Participation

ITNS Member, Kuniko Hagiwara and her team at Jikei University of Health Care Sciences are conducting a research study entitled "A Survey on Clinical Transplant Coordinators' Duties and Work Styles: A Cross-Sectional Study."

The participants in this study are Clinical Transplant Coordinators (CTCs). The purpose of this research is to clarify the scope of duties and work styles of CTCs in order to contribute to the development of transplant coordination practice and professional roles.

Help Support our Multidisciplinary Partners

The Society of Transplant Social Workers (STSW) Research Committee has launched an IRB-approved workforce survey for all U.S.-based transplant social workers. Because a strong transplant ecosystem relies on a team effort, ITNS is helping spread the word to capture crucial data from social workers who may not be part of official memberships.

We ask all U.S. ITNS members to download the official flyer below and forward the survey details to the transplant social workers and clinical social work teams at your specific centers. Data collection runs through October 31st, and your help with this snowball sampling ensures our colleagues get the robust dataset they need to strengthen the profession.
