Transplantation, Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Surgery Fellowship

The Division of General Surgery is offering a two year Fellowship in Transplant, Hepatobiliary and Pancreas Surgery. The Fellowship offers an integrated experience of clinical care (operative and out-patient) and teaching related to liver, bile duct and pancreas pathology and transplantation of liver, pancreas and kidney.

Experience will be gained in oncological principles of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers; liver, pancreatic and bile duct surgery; liver, pancreas and kidney transplantation and ERCPS.   The following will be carried out at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

The first year is a Junior Clinical Research Fellowship that consists of 75% research (which may be clinical or basic science) and 25% clinical work such as organ donor retrievals and occasional coverage of the wards and attendance of program associated conferences.  The Junior Clinical Research Fellowship could lead to a Master's in Experimental Surgery, writing and publications.

The second year is a Senior Clinical Fellowship that consists of Clinical Work in the operating rooms, wards and office settings.  In essence this becomes 75% clinical and 25% research.
