Fellowship Training Opportunities for Advanced Practice Providers
Below are two fellowship training opportunities for transplant advanced practice providers. If you would like to post a clinical or research position, please send a brief (200-word limit) announcement to the APP COP staff liaison, Anne Kreiss, at akreiss@myAST.org. The announcement should include contact information (address, phone, fax, and/or e-mail) of the recruiter.
Duke University Hospital
One position is open every September for the NP/PA abdominal transplant fellowship program. I just wanted to reach out to everyone in the transplant community with a request to let both new graduates and experienced NP/PAs know about this opportunity. If everyone can let their peers know that will be greatly appreciated! They can either go to Abdominal Transplant Fellowship for Advanced Practice Providers or contact me directly at kenai.hattori@duke.edu.
Also, I am very interested in finding similar fellowship programs to create an opportunity for fellows to visit other institutions as part of their curriculum. If anyone is interested in trying to develop this exchange program please let me know!
Thank you!

Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Vanderbilt has a one-year multi-organ transplant fellowship. It is a paid fellowship. I am happy to discuss in more detail. My email address is deonna.moore@vumc.org.
Thank you!
