Transplant Nephrology Fellowship

We are look for a Transplant Fellow to join our program July 1, 2026. We can accommodate off-cycle if needed. Please see below the information on our program.

The AST-accredited transplant nephrology fellowship program at The University of Colorado offers a comprehensive training program covering all aspects of transplant nephrology for physicians who have satisfied their ACGME general nephrology clinical training obligations. Both one-year (clinical) and two-year (research track) training options are available. We are a high-volume transplant center, performing over 300 kidney and kidney/pancreas transplants per year. The transplant fellowship year involves equal time spent in the inpatient and outpatient settings.

Transplant nephrology fellows gain experience working closely with transplant nephrology faculty, surgeons, pharmacists, social workers, and nurses to provide exceptional care to our patients. Transplant nephrology fellows can expect to gain experience in all pertinent areas of clinical transplant nephrology including pre‑transplant donor and recipient evaluation and selection, post‑operative immunosuppression management, evaluation and management of graft dysfunction, desensitization, and paired exchange.

• A protocol biopsy program offering ample opportunity for fellows to gain biopsy experience.
• Optional transplant infectious disease and transplant pathology elective rotations.
• Dedicated time in the tissue‑typing center where fellows will gain expertise in cross‑match techniques and interpretation.

• Regularly scheduled journal clubs, transplant case conferences, and transplant pathology conferences.
• Scheduled didactic sessions covering, but not limited to, the AST‑recommended education curriculum topics.
• Patient‑specific bedside teaching during daily multidisciplinary rounds.
• Participation in weekly multidisciplinary donor, waitlist, and recipient selection meetings.
• Optional general nephrology educational conferences including didactic lectures, journal clubs, case conferences, and pathology conferences.
• Clinical or translational research projects mentored by academically recognized transplant nephrology faculty.
