Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition

The Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition is active in resident teaching. It participates in case conferences, morning reports, and noon conferences as well as active instruction during floor rounds. Faculty members in the division have acted as resident advisors and served on committees for resident education.

The residents attend daily outpatient clinics, see inpatient consults, have multiple one-on-one lectures/teaching sessions as well as attend pathology conferences, participate in journal clubs, and pediatric gastroenterology case conferences.

The residents also have the opportunity to watch a variety of procedures during the rotation and have an understanding of the indication of them all — the gastroenterology elective is one of the more popular electives of the departments. The division has closely mentored and supervised residents who have chosen to pursue a career in pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition.
