There is an increasing demand, locally and nationally, for physician subspecialists with specific training and expertise in the care of immunocompromised hosts, including transplant recipients. To meet this increasing demand, the Division of Infectious Diseases has grown a malignancy hematology/Transplant Infectious Diseases service line at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). Given the divisional support and general interest in this emerging field, we have established a Transplantation Infectious Diseases Fellowship to train the next generation of leaders in transplant ID.
Each year, VUMC performs over 500 solid organ transplants per year, including heart, kidney/pancreas, liver and lung; 200 hematopoietic stem cell transplants; 200 induction chemotherapy treatments; and 80 ventricular assist device implants.
