title: Mentorship programs for transplant patients.
abstract: The concept of mentoring has been used successfully in numerous settings, but only in the past decade have mentoring programs been used with organ transplant recipients. This paper describes how the Toronto Multi Organ Transplant Mentor Programme works, is administered, augments patient care, is evaluated, and has been adapted to meet the needs of various transplant patient populations.
