Gastroenterology Fellowship Program - Unmatched Positions

We currently have 2 positions available on our Physician/Scientist Pathway of training. Please be sure your fellowship training goals are congruent with this pathway of training. Our Physician/Scientist pathway is funded by our NIH Training Grant and as such, per NIH regulations, in order to be considered for one of the available positions, you must be a US Citizen, noncitizen national, or a permanent resident of the United States.

NIH regulations are as follows:
Kirschstein-NRSA trainees must be U.S. citizens, non­citizen nationals, or permanent residents of the United States. Individuals on temporary or student visas are not eligible. Trainees or scholars in these programs who are permanent residents of the U.S. must submit a notary’s signed statement with this appointment form certifying that they have (1) a Permanent Resident Card (USCIS Form I-551), or (2) other legal verification of such status. A noncitizen national is an individual who, although not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States. Individuals in this category are generally born in lands which are not States, but which are under U.S. sovereignty, jurisdiction, or administration (e.g., American Samoa).

Physician-Scientist Pathway

The Physician-Scientist Pathway is intended for fellows who wish to develop skills that will enable them to become independent research investigators. This pathway requires a commitment to an extended period of fellowship, the majority of which will be spent learning research techniques. We offer training in five fields: Carcinogenesis and molecular genetics; molecular biology and gene therapy; cell biology and biochemistry; molecular microbiology; and epidemiology and outcomes research. Trainees in the latter field will be jointly sponsored by the Division of Gastroenterology and the University's School of Public Health. Fellows on the Physician-Scientist pathway will rotate through our core hospitals and have longitudinal outpatient clinic training, to enable them to be fully trained as gastroenterology and hepatology consultants.
