Our Purpose

The purpose of the American Society for Reconstructive Transplantation is to advance the science and practice of vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) through multidisciplinary collaboration in reconstructive transplant surgery and medicine. Central to our mission is to provide education, public awareness and advocacy to enhance the lives of the patients we serve.
