Introduction
Transplant hepatology is a highly specialized field within medicine. Despite their extensive training, many recent graduates report feeling unprepared for their first job search.
Survey Findings
A national employment survey of early career hepatologists found that:
- 63% felt inadequately prepared for the job search process.

Causes of Unpreparedness
The survey identified several factors contributing to graduates' lack of preparedness:

- Inadequate mentorship and career guidance.
- Lack of industry-specific resources and workshops.
Addressing the Gap
To address these challenges, experts recommend:
- Incorporating job search skills into fellowship training.

- Developing resources and workshops tailored to the needs of transplant hepatology graduates.
Conclusion
Ensuring that transplant hepatology graduates are well-prepared for the job search is essential for the field's future success. By addressing the identified gaps, we can empower graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the transition to their first job and beyond.
