A note before you buy: This physical book is based on a previous ABTC content outline. The ABTC updated the official CPTC exam blueprint effective July 1, 2026. Core clinical content — donor management, organ allocation, brain death, authorization, and procurement — remains highly relevant and valuable for building your foundational knowledge.
However, for the most current domain structure and question types aligned to the 2026 outline, we strongly recommend pairing this book with our digital study guides and practice questions, available as instant downloads.
Why candidates love the physical book:
Study the way your brain learns best. There's a reason nursing students have used physical textbooks for generations — reading, highlighting, and writing notes on paper improves retention in ways screens simply don't. If you're a tactile or visual learner, this book gives you something to hold, mark up, and return to.
Everything in one place. No toggling between tabs, no wifi required, no battery to charge. Open it anywhere — on break at the hospital, in the car, at the kitchen table at midnight before your exam.
Built on industry standards. Content is grounded in AOPO, NATCO, and UNOS guidelines, with insights drawn from peer-reviewed clinical literature — the same sources the real exam draws from.
200 practice questions included. Reinforce what you read with built-in Q&A to test your recall across all major content areas.
Written by a CPTC who's been in the room. This isn't a generic study guide. It's written by a 20-year ICU nurse and organ procurement coordinator who has lived this work — and knows what you actually need to know to pass.
