Throughout the three-year program, fellows follow patients in the weekly outpatient GI and liver clinics, and gain knowledge in nutrition and total parenteral nutrition by participating in the nutrition support team and nutrition clinic. In their second and third years, GI fellows learn techniques of clinical basic research.
