Gastroenterology/ Hepatology Fellowship

If you are looking for a fellowship program that will give you the investigative, teaching and clinical skills you’ll need to play a leading role in the field of gastroenterology/hepatology, consider the Augusta University program. You’ll care for a broad range of patients drawn from the local community, regional and national referrals and the Charlie Norwood Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, a major teaching hospital that is attached to Augusta University via a walking bridge.

You’ll also increase your knowledge through a carefully crafted, broad-based conference schedule that will enlighten and equip you with everything you need to know today and for your future.

What’s more, you’ll be exposed to research in both basic translational and clinical science.
