The liver transplant and hepatobiliary diseases program
at University Hospital is organized with a team approach
designed to give comprehensive, individualized care to
patients with complex diseases. The team consists of a
designated group of physicians, physician assistants,
nurse coordinators, social workers, financial coordinators,
and nutritionists. Physicians include hepatologists (liver
disease specialists), transplant surgeons, a psychiatrist
with expertise in transplant issues, and other specialists
as the need arises. Nurse coordinators play an important
role as the daily, direct and personal liaison between
the transplant team and the patient.
