The Transplant Hepatology Fellowship's primary goal is to train clinical scholars for career paths that include subspecialty patient care and academic activities such as teaching and clinical research. Expected career settings for graduates are as clinical faculty members in a traditional university academic practice or as scholarly subspecialists at a referral center. This training would also be excellent preparation for clinical practice outside of an academic environment.
