My goal is to individualize care for each patient to help them understand their disease and work on goals of care with an ultimate goal of liver transplantation if it is needed. From an academic standpoint, I am interested in clinical education of both undergraduate and graduate students to help train the next generation of doctors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2480,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[85,91,92,103],"class_list":["post-58879","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-division-of-gastroenterology-and-hepatology","ud_division-gastroentorology-faculty-physicians","ud_division-liver-center","ud_division-our-faculty-syndication","odd"],"acf":[],"ud_entry_custom_fields":{"ud_last_name":"Shah","ud_first_name":"Neil","ud_gallery_summary":"<p>Assistant Professor of Medicine; Associate Fellowship Program Director<\/p>\n","ud_telephone":[{"ud_location":"Appointments","ud_number":"9849745100"},{"ud_location":"Office","ud_number":"9199662516"}],"ud_email":"","ud_positions":[{"ud_title":"Associate Professor of Medicine"},{"ud_title":"Transplant Hepatology Program Director"},{"ud_title":"Associate Medical Director of Liver Transplantation"},{"ud_title":"Program Director of Transplant Hepatology Fellowship"}],"ud_options":[],"ud_sort_order":""},"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/gi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1267\/2021\/10\/neil-shah.png","featured_image_medium":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/gi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1267\/2021\/10\/neil-shah-214x300.png","featured_image_medium_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/gi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1267\/2021\/10\/neil-shah.png","featured_image_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/gi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1267\/2021\/10\/neil-shah.png","featured_image_thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/gi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1267\/2021\/10\/neil-shah-150x150.png","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Neil D.
