Dear Colleagues,
The Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at Stanford University and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford is pleased to announce recruitment for our Pediatric Transplant Hepatology Fellowship beginning July 2027. Our fellowship provides a rigorous, supportive academic environment for trainees pursuing careers as leaders in pediatric transplant hepatology. Guided by a commitment to extraordinary patient care, innovative research, wellness, and inclusivity, the program prepares fellows to improve the health and lives of children with liver disease through clinical excellence, scholarship, education, advocacy, and health-equity–focused care. During this one-year fellowship, trainees gain comprehensive experience in the evaluation and management of children with acute and chronic liver disease, including pre-transplant evaluation and management, peri-operative care, and longitudinal post-transplant follow-up in both inpatient and ambulatory settings.
Fellows work within a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary team that includes transplant hepatologists, pediatric liver transplant surgeons, advanced practice providers, transplant social workers, transplant pharmacists, interventional radiologists, critical care specialists, and other subspecialty partners. Stanford’s Pediatric Liver Transplant Program, based at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, has a distinguished history in pediatric transplantation. Established in 1995, the program has performed more than 800 liver transplants and currently follows approximately 450 post-transplant patients. We perform an average of 35 liver transplants annually, including living-donor and technical-variant liver transplants. Our team also has extensive experience in complex multiorgan transplantation, including heart-liver, kidney-liver, and multivisceral transplants. Fellows train alongside seven hepatology faculty members—including four transplant hepatologists—and three pioneering pediatric liver transplant surgeons. Our broad regional outreach network includes 10 sites across Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, New Mexico, and Hawaii, offering fellows exposure to a diverse patient population and a wide range of clinical complexity.
Scholarly development is a core component of the fellowship. Trainees have opportunities to participate in clinical, translational, quality-improvement, and health-equity research, while developing the skills to become future educators and advocates in pediatric gastroenterology and transplant hepatology. Stanford is committed to cultivating physician leaders who advance health equity through patient care, education, research, and advocacy. Through our GI Advocacy Group and institutional partnerships, fellows are encouraged to engage in meaningful work that supports patients, families, and the communities they call home. Recent graduates of the program have gone on to academic faculty positions and leadership roles in pediatric transplant hepatology and gastroenterology, including at Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco. Applications are being accepted through ERAS. Prospective applicants must have completed fellowship training in Pediatric Gastroenterology and meet eligibility requirements for U.S. medical licensure.
