Welcome to the UCSF Fresno Gastroenterology Fellowship Program. Our program has been fully accredited by the ACGME and the inaugural class of fellows started in July 2009. The training will take place at Community Medical Centers (CMC), Veterans Affairs Central California Health Care System (VACCHCS), and the University of California San Francisco (UCSF).

Fellows will receive comprehensive and state of the art training in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, clinical nutrition, and gastrointestinal oncology. They will be exposed to a unique patient population with diverse ethnicity, age groups and a wide spectrum of GI/Liver diseases. Besides core clinical experience, fellows will receive dedicated training in clinical and transplant hepatology through our collaboration with UCSF main campus. Based upon individual interest, fellows will also be trained in biliary and therapeutic endoscopy.

Fellows will have availability of dedicated full time teaching faculty with expertise in both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, including EUS.

At UCSF Fresno, we are committed to foster research that focuses on improving patient care through enhanced understanding of pathophysiology, clinical trials, new endoscopic technologies, in collaboration with the neighboring institutions.

Our program will educate the art and science of Gastroenterology and Hepatology to highly motivated and accomplished internists. We aim to produce future leaders in academic gastroenterology.
