Division of Gastroenterology Fellowship Training Program Overview


Duke University’s Division of Gastroenterology offers a three-year program of advanced training in gastroenterology.
 
The first year of training is clinical -- emphasizing inpatient rotations, outpatient clinics, consultation services, and endoscopic procedures.
 
In the second and third years, the training is more individualized according to the specific clinical and/or research interests of each trainee. Emphasis is placed on acquisition of advanced skills in research or clinical practice as deemed appropriate by the fellow and by the Fellowship Director and Faculty Mentors.
 
The primary mission of the training program is to prepare physicians and scientists for careers in academic gastroenterology. Fellows have access to comprehensive training in all aspects of contemporary gastroenterology and hepatology. Fellows also have access to research training, advanced clinical skills, and training in medical education. Our goal is to provide a solid foundation in clinical gastroenterology and then help each fellow meet their individual career goals.
 
The specific objectives of the training program include the following:
 
  • Provide training in all aspects of clinical gastroenterology and hepatology
  • Provide a foundation in the anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology that is relevant to gastrointestinal disorders
  • Provide training in research (bench, translational and/or clinical research) that promotes the future career plans of fellows
  • Foster interdepartmental interactions in support of programs for gastrointestinal malignancies, bariatric surgery, liver transplantation, etc.
  • Promote and foster lifelong learning
