Inflammatory Bowel Disease Fellowship

The Houston Methodist Inflammatory Bowel Disease Fellowship is offering an opportunity to train among leaders in the field of inflammatory bowel disease. Houston Methodist Hospital is a 900-bed hospital ranked as the No. 1 hospital in Texas, with a national ranking of No. 5 in Gastroenterology and GI surgery according to U.S. News & World Report.

Our program's main objective is to train highly competent gastroenterologists in the management of inflammatory bowel disease. Working throughout The Lynda K. and David M. Underwood Center for Digestive Disorders and paired with The Fondren Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program, the IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) fellow will train in a diverse curriculum.

All trainees will achieve excellence in patient care, medical knowledge, communication skills, practice-based learning and improvement, professionalism, and systems-based practice. A key component of this training includes fostering skills in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and the utilization of bowel ultrasound and endoscopy within the context of consultation and continuity of care. Trainees will interact with colorectal surgeons, pathologists, our IBD dietician, and radiologists for comprehensive care of the IBD patient.
