Addressing Approved Transplant Fellowship Training Programs Bylaws

This proposal aims to address the discrepancies between the current Bylaws requirements and the functional operations of the Membership and Professional Standards Committee (MPSC) regarding the approval of transplant fellowship programs. The proposed solutions include removing the requirement for ongoing MPSC review and approval, as well as streamlining and removing duplicative and unenforceable requirements. Implementation will not impact members and is expected to be reviewed by the Board of Directors in December 2017 and implemented by March 1, 2018.
