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 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.
