Additional Information about Program

Overview: The Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship is a 1-year training program for candidates who have already completed a 3-year ABIM-certified Gastroenterology Fellowship. The purposes of this 4th-year Endoscopy Training Program are to provide the fellows with the cognitive and technical skills to perform EUS and ERCP and related endoscopic procedures at the expert level. The program seeks to train the future leaders of academic endoscopy.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or have permanent residency status.
Applicants with an H1B visa are not eligible to apply for this training program because salary support for the fellowship is provided by the trainee, who performs general endoscopic procedures one day per week.

Clinical Training: The program's dedicated faculty are experts in both EUS and ERCP and provide high volume experience to train two advanced fellows. In addition, the trainees will gain exposure to luminal and transluminal stenting, mucosal resection/ablation techniques, as well as, third space endoscopy and balloon-assisted enteroscopy. A dedicated advanced endoscopy case conference is run by the trainees in collaboration with the active faculty on a monthly basis. In addition, there is a broad array of conferences the GI Division offers to enhance the trainees’ experience.

The advanced endoscopy trainee is expected to participate in scholarly activity. There are numerous health services and translational research studies undertaken by the program faculty as well as, ongoing collaborations with others in the GI Division, other Divisions and Departments within the University of Michigan Medical School, and the College of Engineering. Lastly, our program actively participates in international and national multi-center studies.
