The New York University School of Medicine offers an ACGME accredited three-year fellowship in gastroenterology and hepatology. Training is based at our three-hospital system, comprised of Bellevue Hospital, the Manhattan VA Hospital and the NYU Langone Medical Center. Although in close geographical proximity along First Avenue from 23rd to 34th street, each of these sites provides a unique educational experience. The diverse patient populations provided by each hospital ensure that each of our fellows will have the broadest possible education in GI consultancy and endoscopy.   The goal of the NYU Gastroenterology Fellowship Program is, quite simply, to train gastroenterologists who will excel, and serve as leaders in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. We believe that we have a great record at meeting this goal.

The program offers instruction in the art and science of GI consultation, instruction leading to a mastery of techniques in endoscopic and other gastroenterologic procedures, as well as an understanding of the issues relevant to both inpatient and outpatient management of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diseases. Over the three years of fellowship, fellows will receive training based on a Core Curriculum that covers every aspect of clinical gastroenterology and hepatology. Our Core Curriculum is augmented by a number of other conferences and didactic exercises that provide training in the performance of clinical and basic research techniques. Included in our educational resources is a course for first year fellows devoted to teaching endoscopy and special procedures, which will be supplemented throughout the remainder of training with other instructional ventures. In addition, our fellowship provides dedicated time for subspecialty rotations in the third year of fellowship. Possible areas of study include pancreaticobiliary diseases, esophagology/GI motility, obesity/nutrition/bariatric surgery, GI radiology/virtual colonscopy and GI oncology, among others. For interested fellows, this dedicated time can be utilized to obtain further experience in laboratory or clinical investigation; we offer select fellows the opportunity to enter a Master’s program in clinical investigation administered by the downtown NYU campus.

We believe that in addition to providing every fellow with the tools necessary to be an outstanding gastroenterologist, our program instills the means and desire for a lifetime of self-directed education that will serve you in all future endeavors.

The NYU training program is participating in the fellowship match and will accept applications through ERAS. Interviews will be scheduled for January to March 2009 for our three July 2010 positions.
