Accreditation

Our fellowship program combines a robust clinical program with the research strengths of Massachusetts General Hospital.

Our program accepts 2 fellows per year.  The program is structured so that our fellows spend the majority of their time during their first year focusing on their medical knowledge and developing their clinical skills and procedural skills.  

Our first years spend half of the year on-call caring for a variety of primary GI and liver patients as well as providing consultations to other services.  The remainder of the first year is spent  in our new endoscopy suite and attending multidisciplinary clinics such as our Liver Transplant Clinic and Hepatology clinics.

The focus of the 2nd and 3rd year is to develop a research program that can progress into an academic research career.  Clinical responsibilities are limited to continuity clinic and every 6th weekend.  

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have about our program!
