Meeting a Social Worker Before an Organ Transplant

For patients in need of an organ transplant, the first step is to meet with a team of doctors and specialists. One of the members of the team is a social worker who conducts an interview. This may be surprising to some patients. Organ transplant surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Campsen sits down with Melissa Morales, an organ transplant social worker. They discuss what to expect in the interview and the role it plays in the medical outcome.
