Clinical training

• Fellows participate in the care of patients in the inpatient and ambulatory care settings, and develop skills to provide care to patients as both a consultant and as a subspecialty primary caregiver.

Endoscopic training

• Fellows will develop endoscopic procedural skills through a competency-based approach that includes a combination of simulation-based experiences to build a foundation of endoscopic skills prior to advancing their diagnostic and therapeutic procedural patient care experiences under the supervision of faculty attendings.

Transplant hepatology training

• Gastroenterology fellows will develop a relationship with the transplant hepatologists as they engage in team-based care consultation with shared patients from western Kansas under the care of both the KU Wichita Gastroenterology Clinic and the transplant hepatology service at AdventHealth Porter over the course of their fellowship training. During each year of their fellowship training, fellows will spend one month, a total of three months on liver transplant rotation on-site at AdventHealth Porter in Denver, Colorado.

Fellowship Clinic

The Gastroenterology Fellowship Program provides exposure to a diverse patient population and encompasses a wide range of gastroenterology and hepatology disorders. Fellows will spend 30 months out of the three-year training program devoted to clinical experiences. Fellows will participate in an average of one half-day per week of ambulatory care including their longitudinal continuity ambulatory clinic experience throughout the 36-month fellowship training program.
