Post-graduate Credentialed Temporary Clinical Fellowship
Credentialed fellows enjoy a hands on experience in one or multiple GI surgical specialties including foregut, colorectal and hepatobiliary divisions. Credentialed fellows work closely with the clinical team as directed by the formal clinical fellows (see https://fellowshipcouncil.org for more details on certified fellowship programs)
Credentialed fellows will serve as an integral part of the surgical team including supervised inpatient care, surgical procedures and outpatient clinics. Only credentialed temporary clinical fellows are allowed to “scrub in” in the operating room. We accept only one credentialed temporary clinical fellow per academic year.
