Gastroenterology

The Training Program in Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition offers additional clinical opportunities for non-ACGME training in the following areas:

General Internal Medicine

The Section of General Internal Medicine is currently recruiting fellows into a research fellowship program in General Internal Medicine. The Section of General Internal Medicine has two established fellowship programs, the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and the MacClean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics; the General Medicine research fellowship program is a new addition for 2005.

Global Emergency Medicine Med-Ed Fellowship

The University of Chicago Global Emergency Medicine Medical Education (GEM Med-Ed) fellowship aims to develop future global emergency care leaders by providing formal training in medical education curriculum design and execution, as well as experiential training through global medical education leadership and program administration.

This two-year fellowship is comprised of clinical work at the University of Chicago ER on the southside of Chicago, field work in a limited resource region developing emergency care, a Master of Health Professions Education, and multiple opportunities to develop leadership skills and networking within the field of Global Emergency Medicine. Field experiences include educational collaborations with Partners in Health.

Hypertension

The fellowship program in hypertension started at the University of Chicago in 2006 and is a continuation of the program started by Dr. Bakris at another institution in 1993. It is designed to provide expertise in the area of hypertension and clinical research to people who have completed their general medical training and are either contemplating or are in one of the following medical subspecialties: cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology or general internal medicine. Those who are already pursuing one of these subspecialties at the University of Chicago may have one year of their training dedicated to this fellowship. Individuals who choose this fellowship will also receive credit toward completion of their primary fellowship, pending approval by the respective division chair. The central disease process studied in this fellowship is hypertension, a disease common to all of these subspecialties.
