Gastroenterology Fellowship
Education
The fellows will be directly involved with a variety of scholarly activities, including a structured set of GI teaching conferences that they will be responsible for participating in and leading. The conferences will include journal clubs, case-based seminars covering key GI clinical and basic science topics, pathology and radiology conferences. In addition fellows will regularly be assigned to lead small group “attending rounds” seminars for residents and students rotating on the GI service.
All first year fellows will participate in the Fellows’ Core Competency curriculum. This curriculum includes biweekly two hour seminars and workshops teaching a variety of common topics required by the ACGME and American Board of Pediatrics. These topics include: research, quality improvement, administration, medical education, leadership and professionalism.
This interactive curriculum is based on application of key principles. Fellows will be expected to prepare briefly for each session with content that is provided on Blackboard. In-class sessions will focus on application of key concepts with group discussion and small group activities. There are core topics that will be offered every year; remaining sessions will be on various topics related to career development, leadership, medical education and administration.
