The curriculum is structured around the six ACGME Core Competencies: Patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning, interpersonal communication skills, professionalism and system-based practice. The fellowship curriculum also addresses and fulfills recommendations for best practices in gastroenterology training from the Gastroenterology Core Curriculum, a directive put forth by the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) and the American Society for Gastroenterology Endoscopy (ASGE).

Outpatient clinics, inpatient consultation services, state-of-the-art Center for Interventional Endoscopy and established robust programs in motility, fatty liver and IBD provide the framework for clinical training in gastroenterology and hepatology at AdventHealth.

The first year of the fellowship will offer intensive clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings with an emphasis on the diagnosis and management of a broad spectrum of GI and liver diseases.

The second- and third-year curricula further build upon the skills gained in first-year training while incorporating experiences in advanced hepatology, motility and pancreato-biliary disease and facilitating more consultative and endoscopic experience.

Our faculty members have trained in various geographic locations and have come from prestigious training programs, and they are eager to teach you.
