Baylor University Medical Center Transplantation Surgery Fellowship
 |
| |
Medical education has always been a major priority at Baylor University Medical Center, and we are proud to offer a fellowship in transplantation surgery.
Program Summary
Baylor University Medical Center is an approved site for the American Society of Transplant Surgeons' fellowship program. It is designed to provide board eligible or board certified general surgeons or the equivalent with broad multi-faceted education in the preoperative evaluation, intraoperative management and postoperative care of the abdominal organ transplant recipient. This fellowship is accredited by the ASTS, the organization charged with certification of training programs in transplant surgery in this country.
The fellowship is a two-year clinical experience. Fellows participate in all phases of preoperative evaluation, including donor selection, donor management, the organ retrieval operation from the donor, potential transplant recipient evaluations, selection and management.
The fellow is educated in and gains significant experience in the proper performance of all abdominal organ transplants, with special emphasis on liver (adult, pediatric, split and living donor), kidney (cadaveric and living donor), pancreas and small intestine.
Exposure to donor nephrectomy and hepatobiliary surgery is also part of the fellowship. The fellow has extensive exposure to and experience in the management of the transplant recipients both in the immediate postoperative period (intensive care unit, inpatient hospital setting) as well as in the long-term patient management (outpatient setting, yearly follow-up and evaluations, etc.).
The goal is for the fellow to be able to perform as a competent transplant surgeon trained in the above mentioned disciplines upon completion of his/her educational experience here.
Teaching is organized around formal rounds, outpatient clinics, preoperative evaluation, didactic sessions, oral examinations, web tutorials, and a weekly transplant surgery conference which addresses such topics as journal club, morbidity and mortality, invited lecturers and resident presentations.
In addition, the fellow is required to participate in clinical research, to include retrospective chart reviews but which may also include prospective clinical studies in which the fellow is responsible for the inception, planning, implementation, presentation and manuscript phases of research projects.
Entrance into the transplant fellowship requires participation in the match.
