This program utilizes the third edition of the Gastroenterology Core Curriculum published by the four gastroenterology and hepatology organizations (http://www.acg.gi.org/physicians/trainees/pdfs/GICoreCurriculum.pdf) as the basic curriculum for the fellowship. In accordance with this curriculum, the training program lasts for three years with protected time for scholarly activities and a track program for the final year of fellowship. Four tracks are offered for the final year at Baylor: Comprehensive Consultant, Hepatology, Advanced Endoscopy, and Research.
The Comprehensive Consultant Track offers two additional GI rotations, and five elective blocks in addition to the three scheduled electives and one required GI rotation and one required hepatology rotation for the third year.
The Hepatology Track offers three additional Hepatology rotations, two additional electives, and one month each on Transplant Surgery and Transplant Medicine. In addition to the three scheduled electives, one required GI rotation, and one required hepatology rotation for the third year rotation. This track is designed for individuals with a special interest in hepatology and is distinct from the fourth year program in Transplant Hepatology which is required to sit for the ABIM examination in Transplant Hepatology.
The Advanced Endoscopy Track offers seven months of advanced endoscopy training (ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound) in addition to the scheduled electives and required GI and Hepatology rotations.
The Research Track offers seven months of protected research time in addition to the scheduled electives and required GI and Hepatology rotations for the third year.
