Gastroenterology Fellowship Program
Gastroenterology Fellowship Program
Welcome from Chair of Medicine Dr. O'Regan
Why Choose Our Program?
Our program prides itself on having the resources and flexibility to tailor an individualized learning plan for the development of the trainee’s career interests beyond the core requirements. Our main goal is to provide Internal Medicine specialists with subspecialty training in the fields of digestive and liver diseases, allowing competence to be achieved in the requisite knowledge base, critical thinking skills, procedural skills, humanistic and ethical skills encompassed by these fields.
- In a carefully structured and supervised setting, trainees are exposed to clinical and procedural activities designed to gradually increase in complexity while they gradually decrease in the level of directed supervision.
- Trainees are provided structured opportunities to develop teaching skills at a variety of levels.
- Trainees participate in scientific research as a means of promoting the development of the investigative and inquisitive critical thinking skills required of subspecialty consultants in order to generate new knowledge and improve patient care.

Mentor Relationships
Our fellows most commonly reference the personal relationships and valuable mentoring they receive as one of the top reasons why they would recommend URMC.

What Our Fellows are Saying
“The comprehensive exposure to general gastroenterology and its subspecialties during my fellowship at URMC has been a tremendous strength of our program. The exceptional teaching faculty have created a program that fosters critical thinking and personal growth within a supportive environment. I truly cannot imagine working with a more dedicated, inspiring, and enjoyable group of mentors than those I have had worked with here at URMC.”
