Advanced ERCP/EUS Fellowship Program

The Advanced ERCP/EUS Fellowship Program is a 1-year, non-ACGME accredited fellowship program. Fellows must have previously completed a 3-year, ACGME accredited Gastroenterology fellowship to enter the program. Fellows will participate in clinical research to include both a prospective research project and case studies, under the guidance of one of the faculty proctors. Fellows will be expected to submit at least one abstract for presentation for Digestive Disease Week, and submit a minimum of two papers for publications, to include at least one original report and/or a review article. The fellows will present cases at the weekly Pancreatobiliary working conference and at local conferences. This fourth year advanced tier training program will allow fellows to concentrate on a full year of ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound along with other advanced techniques such that at the end of that fourth year they should be competent to seek a junior faculty position or join a practice at an advanced level focused on these procedures. The research aspect of the year will allow development of clinical research skills in relation to advanced endoscopic procedures.
