California Pacific Medical Foundation
Transplant Hepatology Fellowship
The Transplant Hepatology Fellowship at California Pacific Medical Center is a one-year clinical program in liver disease and transplant medicine, providing ACGME-accredited training to prepare future transplant hepatologists.

Prepare for Independent Transplant Hepatology
Become a confident transplant hepatologist as you prepare for licensing exams by performing liver biopsies, managing transplant recipients, observing liver transplant surgeries and supporting patients in inpatient and outpatient settings. Learn the logistics of liver transplantation, including donor selection, organ allocation and transplant immunology as you work side-by-side with renowned clinician mentors.
Clinical experience is the core of our program. It includes a five-month rotation in Inpatient Hepatology, where you’ll manage acute liver disease and transplant complications in both the ward and ICU settings. In our Outpatient Hepatology Clinics, you’ll focus on treating diseases, including viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease and liver cancer. A weekly Transplant Continuity Clinic will give you experience managing post-transplant care, immunosuppression and transplant complications, ensuring you’re well-prepared for independent practice.

A Full Clinical Spectrum
Our in-depth clinical experience includes diagnosing, treating and supporting the pre- and post-transplant care of patients with liver disease in hospital and outpatient settings.
