Training Programs for All Levels

Traditional classroom training can either be delivered remotely or on-site at your location.

Examples of our instructor-led workshops include:

Hospital Development: Designed for OPO personnel responsible for building effective partnerships with hospital staff that result in optimal and sustainable donation rates.

Improving Tissue Authorization Rates: This course provides an introduction to the skills and knowledge required to provide timely, compassionate, and informed tissue donation opportunities.

“The program was very well designed. I really appreciated that our instructor would give us so much feedback. She was able to give us insight about each topic that we would have otherwise missed.” – Tissue Participant

Improving Organ Authorization Rates: This course provides an introduction to the skills and knowledge required to provide timely, compassionate, and informed organ donation opportunities.

“I have actually been doing this for a long time, but I think one of the things that has traditionally made me the most uncomfortable is the concern about needing to keep a conversation flowing. I’ve learned in this class the value of pausing, sitting with silence and just being present. I feel like I’ve learned a lot more about getting beyond my own discomfort to be completely available to my families.” – Organ Participant

Mini Fellowship in Organ Donation: Combining observational learning with innovative, skill-based training, this two-week fellowship takes place at Gift of Life’s headquarters in Philadelphia, PA and is specifically designed to increase the donation professional’s knowledge about donation and best practices of Gift of Life, the highest performing and largest organ procurement organization (OPO) in the U.S. To request an application, please contact Theresa Daly at tdaly@giftoflifeinstitute.org.
