Additional Information about Program

The Pancreas & Biliary Center of the University of Pittsburgh Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition is among the most influential pancreas clinical and research programs in the U.S., offering a multidisciplinary complement of clinical care and procedure acumen to a large patient cohort, all supported by a diverse translational research program centered on precision medicine, genetics and epidemiology. The UPMC Pancreas & Biliary Center offers a one-year, non-accredited fellowship for gastroenterologists interested in advanced study in ERCP, EUS, advanced pancreaticobiliary procedures and patient care.
