Research Training
Innovation and clinical research have enabled Mayo Clinic to remain at the forefront of liver transplantation. For example, the new allocation system for liver transplantation (MELD Score) was first proposed, designed, and tested by physicians at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
Over the last decade, hundreds of publications and talks have been presented by Mayo Clinic staff at national and international meetings. Mayo Clinic is renowned for its leadership role in the transplantation of patients with the entire gamut of liver disorders and diseases.
As a hepatology fellow, you will participate in clinical research projects with dozens of potential projects to choose from. Many of our staff hepatologists and hepatobiliary surgeons conduct research. They welcome participation from fellows.
Moonlighting
One year is spent on focused training and research, therefore moonlighting is generally not allowed.
