In addition to providing patient care, the Division of Liver Disease & Transplant Hepatology provides a solid foundation to academics with clinical and basic science research. The division's role in academics further identifies itself by having the largest GI fellowship program in the state of New Jersey. Our fellows are well trained with the latest techniques for treating digestive tract and related disorders. They also participate in scholarly activities such as research along with fostering growth of future physicians, medical students and residents. The training program prepares young physicians to join colleagues in the community or in an academic setting while providing excellent medical care and advancing the field of gastroenterology.
Exciting times are upon us in Gastroenterology & Hepatology and we hope these few pages will convey that excitement to you.
