Scope of Practice

The concept of companionship before, during, and after transplant is brand new to the organ failure world. The Transplant Doula™ recognizes the role of transplant doulas as valuable healthcare team members for organ transplant patients and their care circles.

We have developed this Scope of Practice to illustrate how a transplant doula provides physical, emotional, practical, spiritual, and educational support to patients and their families through organ failure, organ transplant, or organ donation.
