What a two-year FNB fellow in Liver Transplantation reads, and what each title is for.
Living-donor and cadaveric liver transplantation, donor surgery and post-transplant care.
Busuttil and Klintmalm is the classic read-through text, but Indian programmes are predominantly living donor, so donor hepatectomy and graft implantation detail gets supplemented from Blumgart's and the unit's own protocol book. Sherlock's and Zakim & Boyer's carry the hepatology half of the fellowship - assessment, MELD listing, portal hypertension and post-transplant medicine - which is where exit assessments tend to probe. The AASLD/AST evaluation guideline is the reference used at selection meetings when candidacy is contested.
Titles are tagged core reading — the ones fellows finish — or reference, the ones they look things up in. Editions are given where the current edition is what you want to buy.

The exit examination is the FEE - Fellowship Exit Examination, held after completion of the fellowship training. Theory: one paper of 100 marks (10 questions of 10 marks each) of three hours' duration. Practical: 300 marks, comprising clinical examination and viva voce. A candidate must obtain a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate across theory and practical (200 of 400) to qualify, with the theory paper itself to be passed at 50/100. Trainees must also appear in the formative assessment during training. Successful candidates are awarded the FNB (or FNB-PD) at the annual NBEMS convocation.
