Our guest: Dr. Amitabh Gautam

Dr. Amitabh Gautam is an accomplished organ transplant surgeon who has been serving as a faculty at the Boston University, USA from 2007.

In this episode, Dr. Gautam traces the arc of organ transplantation from it’s very beginnings to the present day algorithm adopted for kidney transplantation in the USA. Along the journey, he offers valuable insights into what all needs to be taken into consideration and how the changing conditions lead such a system to adapt and support more sub-groups of people than thought of previously.

This podcast conversation may serve as a guide to know what challenges may come up once an algorithmic system is deployed for common use, the governance needed to be inclusive of all stakeholder inputs and the willingness to adapt and thrive.
