GI Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship

Endoscopic Ultrasound / ERCP Fellowship

Division of Gastroenterology

Overview

Georgetown University Hospital offers a one-year training program in advanced endoscopy starting July 1 of each academic year. Since its inception in 1990, the program has graduated numerous successful academic and practicing endoscopists with expertise in advanced endoscopic techniques. Individuals are appointed for one year as a junior attending at Georgetown University Hospital (GUH) and are expected to participate in ongoing clinical research projects during their year of training.

The Advanced Endoscopy fellowship at MGUH is affiliated with the Department of Internal Medicine and the Division of Gastroenterology at the same institution. All advanced procedures are performed at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, which is accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). No additional certification currently exists for this fellowship program. All of our faculty members who perform these procedures and teach fellows are members of the Division of Gastroenterology and have undergone additional advanced training during or after gastroenterology fellowship. These physicians therefore are highly qualified to lead and teach this program to trainees. Approximately 1000 ERCPs and 1200 EUS examinations are performed annually at this program, which is among the highest volume centers in the nation. While the majority of the patients come from the local community and surrounding states, a small portion (~10%) comes from other states. Since our hospital is a tertiary referral center, a wide spectrum of highly complex diseases are encountered which adds to the depth of training of our advanced fellows.

The goal of the fellowship program is to teach trainees interested in advanced endoscopy who will further the field. We are therefore committed to training people who will pursue academic careers and/or are returning to places where there is little or no advanced endoscopy skills at present. In addition to clinical training in ERCP and EUS, we help fellows build a long lasting interest in research that can help advance the field.
