All clinical rotations are conducted at the main University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics and the attached University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

The transplant service includes recent transplant recipients, post-operative hepatobiliary surgery patients, and patients with complex liver conditions.

The service works collaboratively with the transplant medicine service which cares for waitlisted patients and transplant recipients without surgical issues. 

The first year of the fellowship is dedicated to learning kidney transplantation and the second year to living donor nephrectomy; however, fellows participate in transplantation of all organs during both years.
