The pilot transition program successfully provided adolescent kidney transplant recipients the opportunity to learn alongside their peers and gain interdisciplinary knowledge to prepare for healthcare transition.

Group-based programming for adolescents should be enhanced to further prepare them for transitions to adult medicine.
