Additional Information about Program

Cleveland Clinic offers a comprehensive therapeutic endoscopy fellowship experience.

This one-year program includes training in endoscopic ultrasound, ERCP, balloon enteroscopy, Barrett's ablative techniques, endoluminal stenting, and other therapeutic techniques.

Both the technical and cognitive aspects of endoscopy are emphasized. Fellows are educated on all facets of endoscopic practice, including proper indications, equipment and technology, quality indicators, varying technical approaches, and the recognition and management of complications.

A clinical research project is an important component to the curriculum. Fellows may also spend time in our pancreas disease clinic, GI bleeding team, and esophageal diseases clinic based on their interest. A rich conference schedule includes management conferences and our multidiscipilinary hepatopancreaticobiliary conference, and augments the clinical experience.

The faculty in our program come from diverse backgrounds, with a variety of clinical and research interests. All our faculty are interested and invested in the education of our therapeutic trainees. We welcome your consideration of our program.
