Additional Information about Program

The Duke Division of Gastroenterology’s Advanced Endoscopy Training Program is a program devoted to the clinical training of an advanced fellow in endoscopic retrograde cholangioscopy (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), advanced polypectomy techniques (including endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection), and endoluminal stenting. Opportunities for involvement in POEM procedures, device assisted enteroscopy, and endoscopic suturing cases is also available.

The program is designed to provide fellows with the skills required for successful pursuit of a career as a therapeutic endoscopist in either an academic or private practice setting. If joining an academic program, fellows will be prepared to assume faculty positions where they will be capable of developing independent clinical programs in advanced endoscopy.

Successful applicants receive a faculty appointment as a medical instructor in Medicine. Therefore applicants on a J1 VISA (no exceptions) are unable to be considered. Applicants must have an H1B or E3 VISA, green card, or be a United States citizen. Candidates for the program are selected based on the above requirements, their ASGE application and personal interviews.
