I'm researching potential P/CC fellowships and one factor is lung transplant volumes. I am using OPTN to look at volumes in individual centers. But Texas is really confusing and the individual program websites are not very helpful in sorting it out, anyone with first hand knowledge of what transplant center is associated with each fellowship?

For instance here are the centers and how many transplants they did in 2013:
university hospital: 35
St. Lukes Baylor: 18
The Methodist Hospital: 98
university hospital St. Paul: 66
Baylor university: 29

I guess my question is...if I go to Baylor for fellowship, will I be exposed to St. Lukes with only 18/yr...or The Methodist Hospital (Houston) which has 100? Or all three including 'Baylor university' totaling 150ish?

Like I said, Baylor and utsw websites are less than helpful.
 
2-3 years ago PCCM at BCM went to Methodist and St. Luke's. The Pulm Transplant clinic in TX Medical Center is mostly at TMH. Not sure if it's changed since then.
