The Loyola University Medical Center (LUMC) Abdominal Transplant Program and Edward Hine Jr VA Medical Center are seeking a candidate for its abdominal transplant fellowship for the training period between August 1st, 2025, and July 30th, 2027.

The American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS)/Transplant Accreditation and Certification Council (TACC) accredits the program. The fellowship is designed to provide “State of the Art “comprehensive training, allowing fellows to become proficient in kidney, pancreas, and liver transplantation. Hepatobiliary experience will also be available. Fellows play a crucial role in perioperative decision-making, a responsibility required to select patients for transplantation and manage their perioperative needs to allow for a successful outcome.

The LUMC fellowship program is committed to the comprehensive development of our trainees technically, clinically, and academically. Fellows are fully supported in their academic endeavors and encouraged to present their work at national meetings.
