About the study
The goal of this feasibility clinical trial is to learn if telemedicine can be used to provide education and evaluation and counseling for people who are considering living kidney donation. The study will also learn how participants improve decision-making about living kidney donation. The main questions to answer are:
* Is telemedicine a practical way to facilitate donor education and evaluation and counseling? * Does telemedicine shared decision making help improve donor candidate decision and engagement during the donor evaluation process?
Researchers will compare standard care with a telemedicine care coordination approach.
Participants will:
\- Receive either standard care or telemedicine video visits to support shared decision making.
