Department of Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology Clinical Fellows and Education Endowment
Thank you for your support of education and research in Gastroenterology & Hepatology at the Department of Medicine of Baylor College of Medicine. The Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology specializes in medical education, research and the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract and liver diseases. The Section offers numerous opportunities for physician training at all stages, from medical student education to continuing medical education. We have a comprehensive, highly sought-after fellowship training program that offers clinical and NIH T-32 funded research-training tracks.
The Section research mission crosscuts basic, translational, clinical and health services research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, Texas State, Foundation, and Industry grants. The Section continues to be the clinical home for the NIH funded Texas Medical Center Digestive Disease Center (TMC DDC), one of 17 federally funded centers focusing on research in GI diseases. The TMC DDC Center facilitates ongoing digestive diseases research, promotes translational research between basic and clinical areas, develops new projects, nurtures new investigators, and provides GI educational activities. The Section also serves as the home for the new Texas Collaborative Center for Hepatocellular Cancer (TeCH).
Our top‐notch faculty provides high quality, compassionate healthcare at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center, Ben Taub General Hospital, and Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, where we continuously introduce innovations in our practices, including cutting edge advanced endoscopic procedures and multidisciplinary treatment of complex GI disorders. We also offer several specialized centers including Barrett's Esophagus Center and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center. The Baylor College of Medicine Advanced Endoscopy and Liver Transplant Programs are one of the nation's best.
