The Gastroenterology Fellowship at Lahey Clinic provides the trainee with broad-based, comprehensive experience in digestive diseases. Faculty members provide expertise in:
General gastroenterology and hepatology
Transplant hepatology
Therapeutic endoscopy
Motility
Nutrition
Inflammatory bowel disease
Fellows gain proficiency in all areas of gastroenterology and hepatology. Approximately eighteen months are spent on the gastroenterology service, which comprises the inpatient service for patients admitted with primary gastrointestinal disorders, as well as the consultation service. Lahey Clinic is a busy liver transplant center, and trainees spend a total of six months on the inpatient liver service caring for patients with complicated liver disease.
Fellows maintain their own continuity clinic, which meets weekly for three years. Additional rotations in endoscopy, clinical research, motility and nutrition round out the experience. Opportunities also exist for training in outpatient hepatology and inflammatory bowel disease. There is a rich conference schedule including didactic lectures, instruction in pathology and radiology, and case discussions. Graduating fellows are well suited for a career in academic clinical gastroenterology.
