Special Features

Our GI fellowship is known for its excellent teaching faculty covering the full breadth of GI/liver diseases including IBD, motility, advanced endoscopy, GI oncology, and transplant hepatology. We are one of the few centers in the country that perform ESD, POEM, and TIF without an advanced endoscopy fellowship, which means that our GI fellows get access to all of these advanced procedures. We are also one of the first programs to offer a curriculum for intestinal ultrasound for IBD.
