The three-year fellowship is fully accredited. Fellows in the clinical program will complete a first and second year of intensive clinical work with early focus on an area of special interest. During the first year of training, emphasis is placed on acquisition of endoscopy skills. Most first year and second year fellows spend more than six months learning and performing upper endoscopy, colonoscopy,and flexible sigmoidoscopy in a high volume endoscopy unit. These skills are taught by superior clinical faculty at each of the three institutions. 

Other intensive rotations include Hepatology, Liver Transplantation, and Nutrition.  Each institution has their own out-patient clinics, where the fellows are exposed to different demographics base.  Although, the fellows see a variety of patients, they are able to develop their own patient base in the continuity clinic.  Opportunities exist for specialized rotations in certain gastroenterology fields such as inflammatory bowel disease and motility.  During the third year of training, clinical fellows will have continual clinical and research experiences in their area of interest. Potential pathways for specialty interests include Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Hepatology, Nutrition, General Gastroenterology and Therapeutic Procedures.

The program fosters dynamic mentor relationships to help achieve each fellows potential.
