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.
