Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell Program
About This Program
Our program's aim is to develop intellectually curious, passionate, and clinically excellent academic gastroenterologists. Our program is centered at two large academic tertiary care referral centers, serving both urban and suburban communities in New York. We offer excellent clinical training in general gastroenterology but also significant outpatient exposures in IBD, Transplant Hepatology, Advanced Endoscopy, and Motility. Dedicated time and resources for scholarship is also significant.
