The Loma Linda University Transplant Surgery Fellowship Program is designed to provide a balanced, well-rounded, and comprehensive training in abdominal organ transplantation. The transplant surgeons, nephrologists, and hepatologists are all part of the Transplant Institute; this structure not only facilitates integrated care of the transplant patient but also ensures that the transplant fellow will interact closely and work side by side with our medical colleagues. Our transplant program is the only program that serves the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino counties, population 4.2 million) and is the closest to Southwest Nevada (Las Vegas), ensuring that the center constantly cares for a large number of patients with end-organ failure and liver malignancies. The fellow will not only be trained in clinical transplantation but there will also be significant exposure on the administrative and quality aspects necessary to run a transplant program.
