Born in New York City in 1936, Dr. Clive Callender decided at seven that he wanted to pursue a career in medicine. In 1969, Dr. Callender joined the Howard University College of Medicine faculty. In 1974, he founded the Howard University Hospital Transplant Center, a first among historically black medical schools. He became only the third African American transplant surgeon in the country at that time. With the mission of enhancing organ donation awareness and reducing the number of patients awaiting transplants in minority communities, he founded the National Minority Organ/Tissue Transplant Education Program (MOTTEP) in 1992. Today, Dr. Callender is still an active educator at Howard University. 💙💚 Learn more about Dr. Callender and MOTTEP at https://www.natlmottep.org/ Story provided by Donate Life America
