1. An Internet-based Transplant Pathology Consortium It will provide an effective conduit and repository for information exchange about the management of individual patients and for collation of standardized data from multi-center studies in outcomes- based research. Its feasibility can be shown using a working model of the Telepathology and Offsite Training, Quality Assurance and Coordination of Pathology Data for Clinical Trials components of the planned transplantation pathology consortium.
