Life After the Gastroenterology Fellowship

Since 2017, there have been 53 graduates from the Gastroenterology fellowship. Nine graduates have pursued advanced fellowships (four in transplant hepatology, two in inflammatory bowel disease and three in advanced endoscopy). Thirty-five graduates are currently practicing in private practice, while the rest are in academic practices across the country. Many of our graduates continue to stay in touch, and there is an annual reunion at Digestive Disease Week for all past Baylor GI alumni.
