Supervision and Duty Hours

Abdominal multi-organ transplantation fellows are directly supervised by one of four full-time transplant surgical faculty and work collaboratively with medicine faculty and fellows.

Overnight and on weekends primary call for transplant patients is covered by night float residents. Fellows are “on service” two weeks per month during which time they direct daily rounds and supervise residents and medical students. No in-house call is required, although fellows are expected to be available to night float surgical residents for questions. On non-service weeks, fellows alternate organ donor recovery call with surgical residents and are guaranteed one weekend per month free of all clinical responsibilities.
