Hepatology Fellowship Program

NIDDK’s Hepatology Fellowship Program—led by our Liver Diseases Branch—is a 2 or 3-year non-ACGME accreditated clinical and research fellowship. The program has a long tradition of training fellows worldwide for a career in academic hepatology, and prior fellows have made seminal contributions to basic, translational, and clinical research. The program is committed to providing fellows with the necessary skills to become independent clinician scientists. Many graduates become leaders in academic centers and national organizations.
