Through a very comprehensive, intense, yet balanced exposure to all aspects of Gastroenterology, the program graduates board eligible gastroenterologists capable of succeeding in any type of clinical setting (academic, private practice, clinical research, etc.) giving our fellows the opportunity to be able to thrive in any type of gastroenterology career with a target success in community practice.
Our mission is to train emerging Gastroenterologists to provide excellent and timely care to the people of South Dakota, and the adjacent rural regions served by our affiliated institutions.
The Gastroenterology Fellowship Program is a comprehensive three-year training initiative designed to equip postgraduate physicians with the clinical skills, procedural expertise, and research proficiency needed to become proficient gastroenterologists. Through a structured curriculum encompassing inpatient and outpatient rotations, procedural training, didactic sessions, and scholarly activities, fellows will gain experience in managing a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, performing diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, engaging in clinical research, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality patient care. The program aims to prepare fellows for independent practice, academic careers, or leadership roles in the field of gastroenterology.
Fellows primarily train at Sanford USD Medical Center's Center for Digestive Health. Fellows also have the opportunity to train at the University of Nebraska Medical Center during their liver transplant rotation.
