Great suggestion @cehunt57. I hope this will also encourage more discussion about paired exchange experiences.
From the Transplant blog:

And first-hand experiences in the discussions:
- Anyone have any experience with Paired Exchange vouchers? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/paired-exchange-voucher/
- It's getting real... found a living donor https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/its-getting-real-found-a-living-donor/
@keggebraaten @danhoe and @2gallonhabit may have more to add to this discussion too, especially regarding paired donation exchange.

If anyone would like a resource that isn't a single medical center, Mayo also partners with the National Kidney Foundation who partners with many hospitals in the nation. They have some great information on their website here: https://www.kidney.org/transplantation.
In addition, our doctors and doctors from other centers, also give free webinars through the National Kidney Foundation. You can find information about upcoming events on this page: https://www.kidney.org/offices/nkf-serving-minnesota. On the right side of the page you will find an Upcoming Events section. The webinars are often Mayo staff and always free of charge.
I hope this information is helpful. Happy to answer any questions!
