CURRICULUM

Research Track

Our Research Track (4-year program) involves commitment to two years of basic science or translational research with minimal clinical training during this period. The last two years involve intensive clinical exposure and basic endoscopic procedures. There is no exposure to ERCP, EUS, or other advanced endoscopic techniques in the Research Track. Trainees wishing to pursue academic careers will be provided with the protected time necessary, and can be supported on our NIH-funded training grant.

Clinical Track

Our clinical track spans three (3) years, although additional training in the following areas are encouraged:

  • Transplant Hepatology
  • Nutrition
  • Endoscopic Ultrasound
  • ERCP
  • Esophageal Disorders

INSTRUCTIONS: In order to add a sidebar anchor:

  1. Duplicate the existing item, listed as a 1/6 text field. (Or create a 1/6 column and add a text field, modify the class so it’s exactly “additionalAnchor”).
  2. Modify the text field inside the 1/6 column. Inside there, modify the HYPERLINK so that it would go to a corresponding section with a “#” in front of it. (Example, we have a “chief” section on the page, then it would make sense to have the hyperlink go to “#chief”)
  3. Then change the hyperlink TEXT to a appropriate label.
  4. IMPORTANT: If not done already, go into that CONTAINER that corresponds to your anchor (i.e. Meet The Chiefs), and add an ID matching the anchor’s HYPERLINK WITHOUT the “#”, i.e. “chief”.
  5. (If using side bar widget box, then there’s a saved copy of a widget box COLUMN, grab it in the column library, it should 1/6 of a length of a column.)

NOTE: Order added to the sidebar is from last to first.
