Training in Gastroenterology and Hepatology
The goal of our Gastroenterology Fellowship is to recruit and train talented physicians who are committed to a career in academic gastroenterology and hepatology.
The first year of our fellowship program is devoted to training and experience in clinical gastroenterology and hepatology. An additional six months of clinical training is provided during the course of the following two years of the fellowship.

Our faculty encompasses a broad range of clinical and research interests and expertise and will provide one-on-one mentoring for candidates wishing to pursue careers in any of the three majors academic tracks: clinician-educator, clinical investigator or laboratory investigator.
