Residents' Comments

“The organ procurements are excellent! They allow for you to see the anatomy in a level of detail that is difficult to see otherwise.”

“This is an excellent rotation. The operative experience is the best I’ve had so far in residency, as we were frequently the only resident operating with the attending for cases. Each attending provided constructive feedback on ways I could improve my surgical skills. The attendings were all very interested in my education and made an effort to teach both in the operating room and in the wards.” 

“Excellent culture with very personable attendings, fellows, and PAs.”

Medical Students' Comments

“The month on the transplant service was easily one of the best I’ve had in medical school, and I would recommend it to any student that is interested in surgery. As a visiting medical student, I was worried about being isolated from the rest of the team, however, the opposite turns out to be true. Everyone was very welcoming, and I immediately felt integrated. My understanding of the complex surgical patient increased significantly. Also, I received a great deal of feedback on my presentations, and they improved significantly as well.”

“I learned more on this rotation than any other about the spectrum of disease and  treatment…Transplantation was a terrific rotation because I was involved with everything from procurements, scrubbing in on procedures, managing a few of the patients on rounds, and conferences.”
