Mission
The Transplant Hepatology Fellowship is a one-year ACGME accredited combined program at New York Presbyterian between both Weill Cornell Medical Center and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, with intensive clinical training program focused on advancing liver transplant care through excellence in clinical practice, education, and research.
We accept three fellows annually through the AASLD Match.
Founded in 1998, the Center for Liver Disease and Transplantation was among the first to adopt a fully integrated, multidisciplinary model. We have performed over 2,500 liver transplants, consistently achieving outcomes that meet or exceed national and regional benchmarks. Patients benefit from shorter wait times, expanded transplant opportunities, and exceptional clinical care.
Our program performed 196 liver transplant cases last year and includes New York’s largest living donor liver transplant program. Fellows gain experience in the full spectrum of liver disease and liver cancer management, utilizing both standard and investigational therapies. Dedicated time and support are provided for clinical research, with opportunities to present and publish.
