Mt Laurel, NJ: The American Board for Transplant Certification is pleased to announce the signing of a letter of intent with the Transplant Financial Coordinators Association. This partnership will result in the delivery and further development of a certification exam for specialists in transplant finance, ensuring practitioners in the field provide accurate financial information to transplant patients and their families in a compassionate and tactful manner.

"We are very gratified to partner with TFCA, combining their long-standing expertise in transplant financial coordination with our established certification test administration and oversight," says Katherine Robinson, President, ABTC Board of Governors.
