The world-renowned faculty within the Division of Hepatology at the University of Miami has been instrumental in the advancement of diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases for several decades. In addition to liver transplantation, we provide broad exposure to all aspects of adult hepatology, including viral hepatitis, autoimmune and cholestatic liver diseases, fatty liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma and other forms of acute and chronic liver disease.
We have a busy inpatient service and a dynamic outpatient practice. Furthermore, hepatology fellows participate in all academic activities of the Division of Hepatology and interface with the gastroenterology and transplant surgery divisions.

Program Curriculum
Overview
Clinical experience includes seven months of inpatient consultation, a one-month rotation at the surgical intensive care unit with special attention to pre- and post-liver transplant care and four months in outpatient clinics. A continuity clinic is maintained throughout the year, along with a half-day of procedures. After completion of this one-year fellowship, trainees are board-eligible for the Transplant Hepatology Certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
Educational & Other Experience
The program offers a full schedule of teaching conferences including: a core-curriculum series, pathology conference, problem-based conferences, research updates and tumor board discussion. The program encourages fellows to attend national meetings such as The Liver Meeting sponsored by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.
Research
The Division of Hepatology offers multiple opportunities for research. In addition to the “QI” project, fellows are encouraged to engage in scholarly activity during the fellowship. The rich ethnical diversity and wide array of diagnoses seen as part of the University of Miami/Jackson Health System provides a very unique platform to develop clinical research. In addition, our faculty has various research interests and fellows may join one of several ongoing studies.
