Conferences

We believe everything the fellows do should contribute to their education and preparation for practice. As the major referral center for North Texas and surrounding states, we have a large patient base with both common and rare conditions.

We have several conferences each week to allow reflection on what each fellow is seeing. These include:

• Club de diarios
• Grand rounds
• M&M
• Case conference
• Endoscopy conference
• Board review
• A didactic lecture series for the fellows to cover the gastroenterology core curriculum over three years

On a less-frequent basis, we have:

• Research conference
• Pathology conference
• Evidence-based medicine conference
• Hepatology didactic conference
