Chief Purpose of this position: The liver transplant anesthesia fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond, VA is designed to help train the future leaders in liver transplant anesthesiology. This one-year non-ACGME accredited fellowship will meet the UNOS qualifications making candidates eligible to become Director of Liver Transplant Anesthesia at major U.S. medical centers. Fellows will receive a well-rounded experience through clinical experience, didactic education, scholarly endeavors and professional development.
Position Responsibilities:
- Teaching: Each fellow will have the opportunity to supervise residents and transplant division CRNAs in a variety of specialty specific cases with the priority focus on liver transplant cases. Other cases may include but are not limited to major hepatobiliary surgery, pancreatectomy with islet cell auto transplant, kidney transplant, multiple solid organ transplant and hepatic resections.
- Clinical: The fellow will be consistently involved in
pre-transplant candidate assessments for the multi-disciplinary
liver transplant selection committee. This position will work
closely with transplant hepatology, transfusion medicine and
transplant critical care medicine during their fellowship. The
Transplant Liver Fellow will spend an average of two days per week
as an attending anesthesiologist supervising a mix of general
operating room cases. This will allow the fellow to maintain their
skills in clinical anesthesiology and earn supplemental income.
- Education: Each fellow receives a stipend in professional funds for conferences, books or other approved academic resources. The fellows have dedicated time to work on academic projects and resources provided to help obtain basic certification in perioperative transesophageal echocardiography. The VCU transplant surgeons and our transplant anesthesia division are committed to working together to advance peri-operative care for our patients and our practice.
