Education
Our faculty prides itself on excellence in teaching. With our energy, enthusiasm, and expertise in diverse aspects of digestive health and disease, we actively engage students and trainees in the classroom, in the clinic, and in research settings.
A vibrant conference schedule complements these experiences. Specific educational pathways, in addition to our Fellowship Program, are summarized below.
