Nurse Practitioner Fellow
The Gastroenterology and Hepatology division is seeking a licensed Nurse Practitioner Fellow in an intensive 12-month training program designed to provide advanced didactic education and focused clinical experiences so that graduates have the skills and knowledge to provide high-quality care in the specialty of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. The program includes both inpatient and outpatient rotations to expose the fellow to a variety of acute and chronic conditions. Furthermore, the fellow participates in several sub-specialty clinics that may include inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatic disease, motility disorders, nutrition, and transplant hepatology to acquire further expertise in these clinical areas.

The Nurse Practitioner Fellowship Program also provides a means to help transition the nurse practitioner into a career in the specialty of gastroenterology in order to better prepare them to provide exceptional patient care in this field. With fellowship training, the nurse practitioner strengthens knowledge bases and clinical acumen to become a confident independent practitioner. For the division, the fellowship allows for better utilization of nurse practitioners in our specialty, as we are in the midst of a provider shortage that has led to a dramatic rise in number of nurse practitioners used in practice. Through the fellowship, we can ensure our nurse practitioner fellows acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to provide high level specialty care, which in turn increases overall patient satisfaction and improves patient outcomes.
