About Us

The UCLA Lung Transplant Fellowship is a one-year non-ACGME program dedicated to training in transplant pulmonology within the UCLA Lung Transplant Program. 

Our Lung Transplant Program is among the highest volume transplant centers in the world, delivering high quality care through cutting edge innovation and research. Training within this program offers an unmatched breadth and depth of clinical experience. Our lung transplant fellow works within a dynamic and multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, social workers, dieticians, pharmacists, and other transplant specialists.
