Professional Education
The Independent Living Donor Advocate Network™ (ILDAN™) offers live and on demand professional education programs at no cost to our attendees. Since 1968 education has been core to our mission. Our goal is to provide relevant, quality education to ILDAs and health professionals serving in live donor transplant programs. This promotes careful screening of donors, providing strong protection to the donor analogous to the anticipated benefits to the intended recipient.
The ILDAN™ is an online community fostering a commitment to skills development, solutions, collaboration, and peer support for social workers, nurses, professional counselors, clergy and other health professionals serving living donors.
