One of the reasons our transplant program has been so successful is because of the close working relationship that exists between the transplant surgeons and the renal division. It is truly interdisciplinary and collegiate, so that patients are provided exemplary care from both a surgical and medical perspective. It’s a collaborative effort that benefits our patients and provides an ideal learning environment for both transplant and renal fellows.”
