Gastroenterology Fellowship

Our fellowship is focused on producing well-rounded gastroenterologists who are fully equipped for both passing their board as well as entering practice. We utilize a variety of teaching techniques, including a large range of conference styles and focuses. Fellows also see patients in a variety of specialty clinics. All of this is enhanced by the fellows running the inpatient GI service at two diverse hospital settings.

Our facility also offers access to advanced clinical simulation for gastroenterology. Fellows are introduced to endoscopy skills by using the Symbionix GI Mentor II Simulator during orientation, and they are encouraged to use it every day for the first month of training. This allows the fellow to be comfortable with the equipment as well as the anatomy and possible patient situations before they actually insert a scope in a live patient.

The GI Mentor II Simulator simulates a variety of cases, such as upper GI bleeding, colonoscopy with polypectomy, ERCP with stone extraction and EUS.

Fellows are given immediate feedback on their performance and are monitored for improvement through time.

Mission statement

The Gastroenterology Fellowship is a dynamic program that focuses on training the highest level of tomorrow’s gastroenterologists. This includes a high level of professionalism, skill, self-learning and leadership. Our fellows will have a full balance of highly academic research exposure, highly personalized patient care and highly skilled endoscopy technique training. We strive to produce well-rounded, competent physicians who can easily enter either academic or private practice as independent practitioners.
