Dr. Colleen Hastings

On July 1, 2004, Dr. Colleen Hastings began her first year of training in pediatric nephrology at the UTHSC. She graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine and was one of the students in her class inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha. In July 2005 she attended an American Society of Transplantation weekend course for fellows on transplantation. She began the M.S. in epidemiology program in August of 2005. Her clinical research project is creatinine reduction ratio in pediatric renal allograft recipients. Her mentoring group includes Dr. Bettina Ault, Dr. Robert Wyatt and Dr. Andrew Bush. The following publications and presentations have resulted from Dr. Hastings’ fellowship training to date:
