Team Will Welcome 7 GI Fellows in 2023
The Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles will welcome seven fellows into its advanced pediatric GI training programs this year.
The fellows are all graduates from prestigious institutions across the country and will take part in five different programs: Pediatric Gastroenterology, Transplant Hepatology, Advanced Nutrition, Gastrointestinal Motility and Functional Disorders, and Advanced Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is one of only a handful of centers nationwide to offer numerous advanced training opportunities for pediatric GI and hepatology. Both the gastroenterology and transplant hepatology fellowships are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The GI motility, IBD and nutrition fellowships are one-year, non-ACGME-accredited programs.
