Team Rounds

Fellows may attend specialty office hours, including hepatology, oncology, hepatobiliary surgery, and pediatric liver transplant clinics.

Call Schedule

Hepatology fellows cover two weekend days per month. Additionally, overnight call coverage is shared between hepatology and gastroenterology fellows. The hepatology fellow will take call two nights per week, only covering the inpatient hepatology service, including any incoming admissions or transfers.

Research

All hepatology fellows are encouraged early in their training to identify a project of interest. With a large faculty with diverse research interests available, they will work closely with a research mentor to develop a project with the goal of presenting at a national meeting and publishing in a respected journal.
