Program Details

The FOCUS GI: First Year fellows course is the first and only course in the nation specially designed to provide clinical education to first-year fellows at the start of their Gastroenterology fellowships. The FOCUS GI: First Year Fellows Course brings an exciting educational activity that introduces first-year fellows to clinical work in various fields within Gastroenterology: Hepatology, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Endoscopy. This course will bring together internationally and nationally recognized thought leaders to provide the core tenets and practical insights within the various fields focusing on the basics for a first-year fellow. This is a significant opportunity to showcase with early career fellows and make a big impression on their careers.

Join us for a 2-day course bringing together internationally and nationally recognized thought leaders to provide the core tenets and practical clinical insights within the various fields focusing on the basics for a first-year fellow.

The singular focus of the course is providing a clinical foundation for first-year fellows in hepatology, IBD, and pancreatico-biliary.
