Training
Our program is highly competitive. We typically receive more than 400 applications each year for two available positions, and we invite the top 10 percent of applicants to interview.
We offer a wide variety of sub-specialty training with highly competent experts in the field. All graduates since 1989 have passed the Gastroenterology Board examination on their first attempts.
We participate in the pilot program for concurrent GI and transplant hepatology training. Six months of scholarly activity/research is required for all fellows.
The third year is tailored to maximize exposure in the fellows area of interest. Training in advanced endoscopy is offered as an option in the third year. We have endoscopy simulators available in the clinical simulation department that are used to introduce and practice endoscopic techniques.

- Club de diarios

Investigación
During the first year, fellows are encouraged to begin to develop a research project for the second year with the assistance of a mentor engaged in research activities. The proposal is written and submitted to the Institutional Review Board for Human Subject Protection, so fellows may begin work on the project without delay.
The bulk of scholarly work (library research, research studies and writing) is done during the next six months, and a paper reporting the research is submitted for publication during the third year. Fellows are encouraged to submit the research work in abstract form to national meetings for presentation.
Fellow projects have been published in Gastroenterology, The New England Journal of Medicine and PLOS ONE, among other journals.
