The field of gastroenterology and hepatology is everchanging and dramatically expanding. As such, the practice of our specialty becomes increasingly complex. Our curriculum fulfills the minimum requirement of 18 months of inpatient and outpatient consultation experience and is further supplemented by our journal club, weekly Yale didactics and case conferences. Our fellows undergo endoscopic training from day one, along with establishing continuity in patient care in our weekly hepatology and general GI clinics.
The first year consists of 9 months of consultation and endoscopic services at Bridgeport Hospital, and 3 months of consultation and endoscopic services at Yale New Haven Hospital York Street Campus. The second year consists of 6 months of consultation and endoscopic services at Bridgeport Hospital, 3 months of inpatient consultation services in hepatology at Yale Hospital York Street Campus, and 3 months of clinical research. The third year consists of 6 months of consultation and endoscopic services at Bridgeport Hospital, 3 months of elective, and 3 months of outpatient subspecialty clinics. Throughout all three years, our fellows establish longitudinal care with their patients at our weekly continuity clinics and pursue research projects.
