Training covers all the main affiliated hospitals. The fellow will spend two days of endoscopy per week at each of the two major teaching hospitals, Michael E DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Ben Taub Hospital.
The rest of the time will be assigned to Baylor Clinic and/or outpatient endoscopy. This allows the fellow to maximize procedural numbers while being exposed to multiple practice settings. The training components will include outpatient and inpatient procedures, as well as outpatient clinic experience.
