 My name is Seema Patil. I'm the Fellowship Program Director at the University of Maryland. At the University of Maryland, we strive to train exceptional academic and clinical gastroenterologists. We believe your career begins on the first day of fellowship. The well-rounded clinical training and flexibility of our program allow you, with our help and guidance, to craft a training plan that best prepares you for the professional future you envision. We offer expertise in all aspects of gastroenterology and hepatology. During your training, you will have robust endoscopic experience and exposure to different clinical sites, preparing you to thrive in any clinical setting. Our Categorical Maryland Track and our Joint Clinical Scholars Track with Mercy Medical Center provide strong, focused clinical and endoscopic training. This is only a brief overview of how we help our fellows become highly skilled gastroenterologists and hepatologists. Thank you for your interest in our program. For more information, please look at our website or reach out to us by email. We look forward to meeting you. Hello. My name is Jean-Pierre Ralphman. I'm the Division Chief of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. In addition to providing superior clinical training in a diverse, nurturing environment, we help our fellows contribute to knowledge through research. Multiple ongoing clinical and basic research projects supervised by talented, experienced and approachable faculty will provide you with many opportunities. Senior faculty will guide you towards projects that satisfy your curiosity and interests. For those already set on an academic path, our NIH Track prepares fellows for a career in clinical research and our NIH-funded T32 Track allows fellows even more protected time to pursue training in clinical or basic investigation and obtain an advanced MS, MPH or PhD degree. Throughout your training, we anticipate our dedicated faculty will serve as role models that both motivate and inspire you. Graduates of our fellowship program have made meaningful contributions to medical and scientific knowledge and many achieved leadership roles in academic medicine here at Maryland, at Johns Hopkins and at the National Institutes of Health.
