Welcome from Ted Denson, MD
Welcome to the Fellowship Program of the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center!
We are committed to providing an outstanding fellowship program for pediatricians who desire to become academic pediatric gastroenterologists, and we have a strong track record in preparing independent basic science researchers and clinical investigators with the skills necessary for successful careers in academic medicine.
The division, the Department of Pediatrics and Cincinnati Children's provide a setting of unusual strength, breadth, and depth for training. Our 21 faculty, 20+ nurses and 12 clinical fellows provide care to more than 10,000 patients each year. In all of our clinical, research and educational activities, we strive to change the outcome for our patients.
The fellowship program is structured to include three years of training: one year is spent primarily in clinical care and two years are primarily devoted to hypothesis-driven laboratory or clinical investigation of gastrointestinal, hepatic and / or nutritional problems relevant to the care of infants and children. The program is organized to result in successful preparation for certification in pediatric gastroenterology by the American Board of Pediatrics. Opportunities for advanced fellowship training beyond three years are also available.
To help you learn more about our program, we have prepared this web site to provide information about:
- What's new in the division
- The people from our training program-both now and in the past
- The many opportunities for your intellectual development in clinical care and research, both inside and outside the division
- The advantages of a dynamic, broad-based program in an affordable, very livable city
We hope that you will strongly consider our program. Please contact us if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Ted Denson, MD
