Our main goal is to launch our Pediatric Gastroenterology fellows on a path to a successful career and enable them to lead and influence the next generation of physicians by providing them a well-rounded education and academic experience.
Overview
The Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the University of Florida is committed to training individuals to become independent and competent physicians capable of providing the highest level of care. The program is designed to ensure that fellows have a well-rounded training in clinical care, teaching, research, and quality improvement. Training takes place at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital in Gainesville, Florida, with our outpatient clinic and endoscopy center located nearby. UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital is the only pediatric Level I trauma center in the area and is the major pediatric referral center in North Central Florida. The children’s hospital has 208 beds, free-standing pediatric emergency department, and 25 subspecialties within pediatrics.
The University of Florida hosts a broad range of NIH-funded biomedical scientists and clinical researchers who benefit from robust institutional support. There is an abundance of research opportunities and possibilities for collaboration throughout the University. The University of Florida Health Shands Children’s Hospital is one of the Southeast’s premier pediatric medical centers as U.S. News & World Report ranked it as Florida’s No. 1 children’s hospital, with five pediatric specialties earning the elite distinction of being rated among the nation’s best.
