University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas

The Division of Surgical Transplant is accepting applications for our ASTS accredited two-year fellowship in Kidney Transplant Surgery. The fellowship is designed to provide training in deceased donor multiorgan procurement, living donor nephrectomy (laparoscopic and open), kidney transplantation, vascular access and research opportunities. Training will be conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School Affiliated Hospitals – Parkland Memorial Hospital, Children’s Medical Center and University Hospital St. Paul. The hospitals are located on the UT Southwestern Medical Center campus which provides the advantage of patient management in close proximity to transplant research laboratories and campus library facilities.

For foreign medical graduates, a J1 visa or green card along with ECFMG certification are required. All applicants must have passing USMLE scores for Steps 1, 2, and 3 as well as three years of Surgical residency training in the U.S. to be eligible for our program.
