Transplant hepatology is an advanced subspecialty within gastroenterology that focuses on the care of patients with complex liver disease. Training in this field provides in-depth knowledge of liver pathology and the diagnostic approaches required to evaluate and manage candidates for liver transplantation. Transplant hepatologists oversee patient care both before and after transplant, with specialized expertise in areas such as immunosuppressive therapy, liver graft dysfunction, and transplant-related infections.

Non-ACGME accredited transplant hepatology training requires completion of an internal medicine residency. However, ACGME-accredited transplant hepatology training requires specific clinical education following completion of an internal medicine residency and a gastroenterology fellowship.
