Advanced Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Fellowship
The Advanced Pediatric IBD Fellowship Training Program is directed toward individuals who have completed their fellowship training in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition and desire additional training in the management of children and adolescents with an academic career in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
The goal of this one-year program is to support the development of highly skilled fellows or junior faculty who have a strong commitment to pursuing a career in pediatric IBD, with preference for those who have plans to pursue an academic appointment following fellowship.
The fellow will participate in inpatient patient care and outpatient clinics. The fellow will also participate in other subspecialty clinics, including Pediatric Colorectal Surgery, Advanced Nutrition, Radiology, Pathology, Immunology, Rheumatology, and Psychology. Based on the fellow’s interests, there will be access to a multitude of clinical and research opportunities as well.
