Our ACGME accredited Transplant Hepatology Fellowship provides the opportunity to gain knowledge, procedural skills, interpersonal skills, professionalism, and practical experience to become an independent and highly qualified transplant hepatologist. Fellows care for patients with a wide range of illnesses and in all stages of illness. Daily teaching rounds, inpatient and outpatient service, and several weekly conferences are an integral part of fellow training. Faculty members from Organ Transplantation and Hepatology divisions serve as mentors and role models in clinical care, professionalism and research. Fellows completing the program will be fully UNOS-certified for transplant Hepatology. The fellowship consists of evaluating and managing liver transplant candidates and recipients. The pre- and post-transplant management of liver transplant candidates and the immediate post-operative management are a major focus of training. The fellow attends a required number of deceased donor procedures, living donor procedures, and other relevant surgical procedures in order to gain a thorough understanding of surgical issues related to care of liver transplant recipients and allow UNOS certification. To be considered for the Transplant Hepatology fellowship, applicants must have successfully completed a three-year GI fellowship from an ACGME accredited program.
