Gastroenterology Fellowship Program

Gastroenterology Fellowship Program Group

Gastroenterology + hepatology fellowship at Tufts Medical Center

The Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellowship Program at Tufts Medical Center trains future leaders in academic GI and liver care. Our ACGME-accredited program accepts three fellows each year.

We offer a flexible curriculum tailored to individual career goals while providing deep training in core clinical areas. By the end of the program, fellows are well-prepared to manage a wide range of gastrointestinal and liver diseases.

Highlights of our program include:

  • Comprehensive training in liver disease, GI bleeding, and both acute and chronic GI conditions
  • Hands-on experience with advanced procedures, including ERCP, EUS, endoscopic mucosal resection and balloon enteroscopy
  • Individualized learning paths that support academic and clinical career development

Our fellows train at Tufts Medical Center and rotate through St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center and MetroWest Medical Center. These diverse teaching sites offer broad exposure to complex cases, varied patient populations and collaborative research—all within one integrated fellowship.

The fellowship fosters a supportive, collaborative learning environment where fellows and faculty engage in regular conferences, journal clubs and interdisciplinary meetings to enhance education and professional growth. This team-oriented approach encourages open discussion, critical thinking and continuous improvement throughout the training experience.

Research opportunities are robust, with fellows encouraged to engage in clinical trials, translational research and quality improvement initiatives that contribute to advances in gastroenterology and hepatology. Fellows receive mentorship to develop their projects and are supported in presenting at national conferences.

Fellows gain extensive hands-on experience in both standard and advanced endoscopic procedures, such as ERCP, EUS, endoscopic mucosal resection and balloon enteroscopy. Additional training includes enteral stenting, chromoendoscopy, and video capsule endoscopy, preparing fellows for comprehensive clinical practice.
