By achieving American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and/or American Board of Pediatric (ABP) certification in transplant hepatology, you demonstrate your commitment to the profession and show the public, your patients, your institution, and your colleagues that you have attained expertise in advanced and transplant hepatology beyond the general hepatology competence expected of a gastroenterologist. Certification in transplant hepatology is the preferred pathway for the expert hepatologist, whether your career goals involve practice in an academic liver transplant program or a community general hepatology practice.
