About Gastroenterology Fellowship Program
Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta offer an ACGME accredited Pediatric Gastroenterology Fellowship. The goal of our fellowship program is to prepare the fellow for a career in academic pediatrics, with a strong emphasis on excellence in clinical care, teaching, productive and independent research. The first year of the fellowship is devoted primarily to clinical training and education, and the second and third years are primarily devoted to research activities with continued training in the outpatient and continuity aspects of the field. Because of the strong academic and research activities of the Section of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, the fellow will be exposed to a stimulating environment in one of the top Children's Hospitals and research Universities
The Fellowship Training Program in Pediatric Gastroenterology is a three-year program designed to offer a strong clinical and research experience and to prepare the trainee to qualify for the subspecialty boards in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition.
