Fellows at UMass Chan receive a diverse education, including the following experiences:
Fellows will master the pathophysiology related to diseases of the gastrointestinal system and the liver; hone their skills in generating a focused differential diagnosis based on accurate history taking, physical examination, and interpretation of available data; develop a deep understanding of the indications and contraindications for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and develop the skills to perform these procedures; polish their ability to interact respectfully with all members of the team delivering care to their patients; and appreciate the humanistic and ethical aspects of medicine.
Alongside their clinical training, fellows will participate in the GI conferences both by attending and presenting at these meetings. They will also develop their own research projects with faculty guidance. These projects can be developed within the Division of Gastroenterology, but fellows are also encouraged and supported to explore additional mentorship outside the division.
