Additional Information about Program

The Johns Hopkins Therapeutic Endoscopy Fellowship offers intensive, high-volume training in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy for individuals seeking to become academic leaders in interventional endoscopy. The program has been redesigned to reflect the rapid evolution and subspecialization of the field. We now offer a structured one-year fellowship in core therapeutic endoscopy, with the option to pursue a second year for additional advanced or highly specialized procedural training. This flexible model allows each trainee to build the foundation necessary for independent practice while also receiving tailored, progressive exposure to the advanced techniques that align with their long-term goals.
