Dr. Tapiawala completed a 2 year fellowship program in nephrology at the University Health Network, one of the premier institutes in North America. The experience was directed towards working in special areas like, a multi-disciplinary care of acute and chronic kidney disease patients, critical care nephrology, pregnancy and kidney diseases, Home dialysis (peritoneal and home hemodialysis) and prevention of kidney diseases. She then subsequently worked in the Multi organ Transplant department and HLA laboratory under the auspices of American Society of transplantation, which is one of the leading kidney transplant Centres and HLA laboratories in North America.

Dr. Shurti Tapiawala has experience in management of solid organ (kidney, kidney-pancreas, heart lung and liver) transplantation patients at the multi organ transplant unit, University Health Network Toronto, Canada, where in addition to clinical management she has experience in risk stratifying the patients for these transplants by the virtue of being a part of The HLA (tissue typing laboratory) which evaluates a transplant recipient immunologically. This helps high risk patients to go through solid organ transplantation who are likely to be normally denied transplantation. After returning back to India, she joined Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital (KDAH) and Medical Research Institue in the year 2010, where she established the renal transplant protocols and helped establish the transplant program. She has been instrumental in initiating Living Donor Paired Kidney Exchange Transplants (Swap Transplants) and ABO incompatible (across Blood group) kidney transplants at KDAH. In addition of making the transplantation and the dialysis unit protocols, she has initiated and maintained patients on peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis and set up kidney support groups to educate patients and their families to understand kidney disease and help them cope with their disease.
