The three-year gastroenterology fellowship provides extensive experience in all aspects of gastroenterology, endoscopy, hepatology and nutrition. Our fellows have the opportunity to become expert in these areas through Winthrop's formalized centers of excellence with state-of-the-art equipment and through rotations in advanced hepatology and liver transplantation at the Columbia-Presbyterian campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital. Graduating fellows successfully establish themselves in academic or clinical careers of their choice. |
