Canadian Blood (CBMTG) The Canadian Blood is a national, voluntary, and multi-disciplinary organization providing leadership and promoting excellence in patient care, research, and education in the field of blood and marrow transplant (BMT). CBMTG believes that every patient has a right to the highest standards of care that can be provided by blood and marrow transplant professionals in Canada. Our vision is that Canada will be the best place in the world to have a blood and marrow transplant. Our mission is to be the voice of experts working in the field of blood and marrow transplant. The organization leads education and research across the Canadian BMT field. CBMTG holds an annual conference, organizes free webinars for its members, has a robust clinical trials program and has led the development of the national BMT registry. The Conference Planning Committee, led by Dr. Stephen Couban, has created a scientific program highlighting presentations on topics of interest in the field of BMT. This program was designed for a multidisciplinary audience and topics were chosen with care. CBMTG sessions will be organized from Thursday, June 12 to Saturday June 14, 2014. Canadian National (CNTRP) The Canadian National (CNTRP) is a national initiative designed to increase organ and tissue donation in Canada and enhance the survival and quality of life of Canadians who receive transplants. The program is led by Drs. Lori West at the Alberta Transplant Institute at the University of Alberta in Edmonton and Marie Josée Hébert at the Université de Montréal and brings together 116 investigators at 21 institutions from across Canada to carry out research and develop resources to help Canadians waiting for a tissue or organ transplant. The Society will host sessions Tuesday, June 10 to Thursday, June 12, 2014. Canadian Apheresis Group (CAG) The Canadian Apheresis Group was formed in 1980.
