Section of Transplant Surgery
Since 1964, we've changed lives by pioneering new techniques in transplant surgery and empowering the next generation of surgical leaders.
The U-M Medical School Section of Transplant Surgery is one of the largest transplant centers in the country, ranking among the best in the country for clinical outcomes. We’re also proud of our skill at treating patients who would otherwise go untreated, including those with serious artery damage, obesity, and peripheral vascular disease.
The Michigan Promise aims to empower faculty members and residents in the Department of Surgery to achieve professional success. We support initiatives connected to environment, recruitment, leadership, achievement, innovation and outreach.
