Additional Information about Program

The aim of the AEF program is to train gastroenterologists in performing all cognitive and technical aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic techniques. At the conclusion of training, we expect the AEF graduates to be competent to establish an interventional endoscopy unit at their own hospital, hold a high-volume practice treating complex disease processes, and continue to further advance the field in both clinical research and development.
