The UT GI Program is a three-year clinical fellowship with research. First-year fellows are accepted to the program each year. Each fellow will have a basic core curriculum involving rotations at each of the affiliated facilities. Fellows, with a faculty mentor, are expected to participate in clinical research, basic research, or other scholarly activities. At the conclusion of the three-year fellowship training, the fellow will be a fully trained gastroenterologist who will be able to diagnose, treat, and manage all forms of gastrointestinal and liver disease and will be able to practice competently and independently in the field of gastroenterology.
