Weekly Conferences
 
The Division of Gastroenterology holds a variety of conferences each week. Although clinical experiences are critical to the training experience, conferences cover a range of clinical and research topics to provide a foundation for the training program. These are held in an atmosphere that encourages interactions to foster exchange of ideas and represent an essential element of the training program.
