Gastroenterology Fellowship Program
WELCOME TO THE GASTROENTEROLOGY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM AT MCLAREN GREATER LANSING!
Program Mission
The Gastroenterology Fellowship at McLaren Greater Lansing is committed to developing future leaders within Gastroenterology. Consistent with ACGME Institutional and Program Requirements, along with McLaren Health Care Corporation’s mission, we strive to educate fellows in the comprehensive assessment and management of disease processes related to Gastroenterology. Our program achieves this by providing an essential foundation for learning and promoting an environment of inquiry. The program educates physicians in all areas of Gastroenterology through direct patient contact in both an inpatient and outpatient setting as well as encouraging scholarly activity. The clinical setting exposes the fellows to the diverse population located in the Mid-Michigan/Greater Lansing community.
Quality outcomes and cost awareness is incorporated into training for best valued healthcare practices. A balance between training, service, and scholarly activity is maintained while offering comprehensive educational programs both in-house and at participating institutions. Academic activities such as quality improvement participation and research is a requirement of the program to promote an environment of inquiry and encourage lifelong learning.
Program Aim
The Gastroenterology Fellowship Program at MGL is designed to provide an exceptional educational experience that ensures our fellows graduate with the ability to provide the highest quality, comprehensive, and compassionate care to patients. To achieve this, the Fellows are provided a progressive experience that includes increased responsibility given over the course of the training program. The fellows will receive specialty training in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Hepatology, Gastrointestinal Motility, Outpatient Endoscopy, and Advanced Endoscopy. All fellows will graduate from the training program with the necessary clinical and procedural skills to successfully practice independently or at an academic institution. The MGL Gastroenterology Fellows will graduate having received exposure to clinical research acquired by integrating them into ongoing faculty research projects or in the development of their own individual projects, fostered through faculty mentorship and collaboration. Each fellow will participate in at least one scholarly project per year.
Each fellow will graduate the training program functioning as a competent gastroenterologist with a solid work-ethic and professional demeanor that will allow them to be successful in academic or private clinical practice settings. The program will educate physicians who seek and achieve board certification within 2 years of matriculation into practice.
