The Medical University of South Carolina offers a one-year Transplant Nephrology Fellowship, accredited by the American Society of transplantation and the American Society of Nephrology, beginning July 2009.  Applicants must have completed the two year nephrology fellowship.  Completion of the Transplant Nephrology Fellowship will provide the UNOS qualification for transplant nephrology staff position.
 

The Medical University of South Carolina has a very active solid transplantation program that performs heart, liver, kidney-pancreas transplants.  The average number of kidney transplants is approximately 200 per year.

The fellow will receive training in transplant recipient management and will acquire experience in the evaluation of candidates for cadaver or living donor transplantation.  Daily activities are based on outpatient and inpatient service, consultation for liver or heart transplantation recipients with renal dysfunction, conference and meeting attendance, and biopsy procedures.

Research projects related to transplant topics will be assigned according to fellow's interest.
