Description
Mayo Clinic’s Abdominal Transplant Surgery Fellowship provides two years of surgical education and clinical training at its Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, campus. The program aims to develop future leaders in transplant surgery through experience in liver, kidney, and pancreas transplantation, living donor nephrectomy, and multi-organ procurement. Training includes open and robotic approaches, normothermic mechanical perfusion of liver grafts, and regional perfusion during circulatory-death donation.
Fellows work within a structured, multidisciplinary transplant program, participating in candidate evaluation, surgery, immediate postoperative care, and long-term management. The curriculum addresses immunobiology, immunosuppression, transplant complications, ethics, economics, and organ allocation. Clinical training is complemented by academic development, research opportunities, and experience leading transplant teams alongside faculty.
