Transplant ID Clinical Conference
The Transplant ID fellow will present active patients on their consult list and lead discussions with core transplant ID faculty regarding diagnostic and treatment plans. Weekly.
ID Fellows Core Curriculum
This lecture series is geared toward the first and second year general ID fellows, but includes many topics very pertinent to the care of immunocompromised hosts. The transplant ID fellow is encouraged to attend all lectures they would like. Weekly.
ID Clinical Case Conference
Interesting ID cases from the various inpatient/consult services are presented by the fellows, with case discussions by the ID faculty. A weekly meeting, with the Transplant ID fellow presenting six times throughout the year.
ID Journal Club
The fellow will discuss one paper under the guidance of a faculty advisor. With the objectives of identifying important transplant ID research; discussion regarding how to critically evaluate the medical literature as it pertains to the field of transplant ID; and discussion of how application of the research outcomes may be applied in practice. Every two months, with the Transplant ID fellow presenting one time throughout the year.
Selection Committee Meetings
Weekly meetings of the various solid organ and HCT selection committee. ID is often invited to weigh in on particular cases, though the transplant ID fellow is encouraged to attend a chosen committee meeting weekly while not on clinical service.
Transplant Infectious Diseases Section Research Meeting
A monthly meeting of the transplant ID division faculty and transplant ID fellow. Meetings consist of an “update” of the various research projects being pursued across the section, and conclude with a more in-depth presentation and discussion of one particular project. The aim of this conference is not only to provide feedback and guidance for the individuals with active projects, but to encourage collaboration and spawn new ideas for future study.
Research Happy Hour
Sponsored by the Division of Infectious Diseases, clinician educators and young physician scientists are encouraged to present their active projects to a diverse group of senior faculty with experience in clinical and translational research. Often will include a short, personal introduction. This is done in a very casual environment, with snacks and beverages provided.
National Conferences/Symposia Sponsored by the Division
Fellows Symposium on Transplantation (AST) | September - Dallas
This symposium is designed for and limited to clinical fellows and residents, surgical fellows, research fellows, pharmacists and other trainees who are planning a career in transplantation medicine, surgery, or research. The symposium offers an in-depth and interactive study of clinical transplantation, basic transplant immunobiology, and translational science while offering important insights into career development and unparalleled access to expert faculty. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the field of solid organ transplantation from experts in both basic science and clinical care. Attendees will be exposed to the entire spectrum of clinical, research, and translational science and career opportunities in the exciting field of transplantation.
American Transplant Congress | June - Location varies
The American Transplant Congress is the Joint Annual Meeting of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS) and the American Society of Transplantation (AST). ATC provides a forum for exchange of new scientific and clinical information relevant to solid organ and tissue transplantation.
