As the field of transplant dermatology grows, the number and sophistication of resources available for both patients and professionals continue to expand. Fortunately, many of these resources exist in publicly accessible digital format that allows for repeated and easy access for patients and providers alike. This chapter attempts to provide an annotated list of resources for patients and health professionals, focusing on sources that are from national and international societies and collaboratives rather than those from individual medical centers. This list is not intended to be exhaustive nor does inclusion imply that all information within these sites is current or accurate. Because medical decisions in transplant patients are often complex, consultation with specialists in transplant dermatology may optimize the customization of care for patients.
