Kenji Okumura, Candidate Member
General Surgery, Surgical Oncology, Transplantation
Westchester Medical Center
I completed a surgical residency in Japan, and I have been trained in surgical oncology and gastrointestinal surgery. I also completed a Fellowship in the Kidney/Liver Transplant Surgery Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. I am also involved in research that is related to the mechanism for liver regeneration, using the database of the Acute Liver Failure Study Group. To continue to work and seek a career in the United States, I have decided to get into surgical residency to get board-certified in the United States. I currently work as a surgical resident at Westchester Medical Center/New York Medical College, in Valhalla, NY. After completing my residency, I will seek a career to work as a physician, scientist, or surgeon in the field of transplant. My research interest is how to improve transplant outcomes and risk calculations of transplantation.
