Whether you are a patient, family member, trainee, researcher, referring physician or prospective faculty member, we are delighted you are here. Thank you for visiting our division! We invite you to learn more about our people, programs, and vision for the future of transplant medicine.
A Message from our Division Chief
Eddie Stenehjem, MD, MSc
Clinical Director & Interim Division Head of Transplant Medicine
It is an extraordinary privilege to lead the nation's first Division of Transplant Medicine within a Department of Medicine. The creation of our division reflects both the remarkable growth of transplant medicine as a distinct discipline and our commitment to reimagining how academic transplant programs are organized to better serve patients, educate future leaders, and advance discovery. At CU Anschutz, transplantation has evolved into a highly integrated enterprise spanning kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplantation and supported by faculty in infectious diseases, endocrinology, psychiatry, and many other specialties. We are bringing together, in one division, exceptional clinicians, scientists, educators, and trainees with a shared mission to improve the lives of patients with end-stage organ disease.
Our Specialties
Our main specialties include transplant nephrology, hepatology and transplant hepatology, and lung transplant. We also partner closely with the Advanced Heart Failure Section in the Division of Cardiology and the Division of Infectious Diseases to ensure synergy between all our organ groups across clinical care, education, research and innovation.
Our Impact
Our impact begins with collaboration. By uniting transplant physicians, researchers, educators, and staff across specialties, we are creating a stronger foundation for clinical excellence, groundbreaking research, and the next generation of transplant medicine. Together with our partners across the Department of Surgery, basic science departments, and UCHealth, we are advancing the future of transplant.
