Fellow Duties

Abdominal multi-organ transplantation fellows are responsible for all aspects of inpatient care of patients on the transplant and hepatobiliary service.

Our fellows work with residents, medical students, and physician extenders to cover patients in the intensive care unit and transplant ward. Fellows participate in all transplant procedures, multiorgan recoveries, and living donor procedures.

The fellows have 1-2 days of clinic weekly in which they evaluate pre-transplant candidates and manage post-transplant complications. Fellows also assess hospitalized patients with decompensated organ failure and patients with complex surgical conditions. Duties include the care of adult and pediatric transplant recipients.
