Five graduates from prestigious institutions across North America will join the Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in July as trainees.

The fellows will take part in four different training programs: Pediatric Gastroenterology, Liver Transplant Hepatology, Advanced Gastroenterology Nutrition, and Gastrointestinal Motility and Functional Disorders.
