The Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology considers educational activities at all levels of the highest priority. The faculty members in our division are known for their welcoming, engaging approach; they are dedicated to mentoring and training students, residents and fellows in both clinical care and research. The division generally accepts four fellows each year for the three-year fellowship program, attracting a consistently growing number of outstanding applicants from a large national pool. Two fellows per year are accepted to our NIH T32 training grant, which provides funding for two years of clinical or basic research training, including master's-level coursework, if desired. An important part of our mission is graduate medical education, and we train and supervise both internal medicine residents and fellows. GI subspecialty residents are provided with a broad range of clinical exposure, as well as ample research opportunities.
Our state-of-the-art endoscopy suites offer all of the technologies available for advanced therapeutic endoscopy, covering all facets of gastroenterology and liver disease. Because our GI faculty members have a broad scope of expertise, fellows receive mentoring in a wide range of interests.
Fourth-year medical students can participate in a variety of clinical electives: as an integral member of the general GI consult service, rotating through the Jill Roberts Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, participating in the Hepatology and Liver Transplant service, and serving on the Pancreaticobiliary service. They also are able to spend more focused time pursuing basic science research with our Divisional faculty, including in the Jill Roberts Institute for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
