The transplant nephrologist candidate will provide direct patient care and lead multi‑disciplinary teams in the in‑patient and out‑patient setting to manage recipients of kidney and pancreas transplants, conduct pre‑transplant evaluations, perform living donor candidate evaluations, and determine suitability of organs from medically complex deceased donors. The candidate will participate in clinical and operational meetings such as the selection committee, candidate review board, HLA review, post‑transplant review, and living donor meetings.

In 2023, UVA performed 203 adult kidney and/or pancreas transplants with excellent patient and graft survival. We strive to create a collaborative working environment that fosters professional growth and provides the platform for faculty to become leaders in the field of transplantation. Faculty are encouraged to critically appraise current established practices, explore new therapeutic and diagnostic paradigms, and embrace emerging technologies to increase access to transplantation and promote longevity of patients and allografts.
