The advanced IBD fellowship at Johns Hopkins is a one year post-gastroenterology fellowship training year to further hone the skills and knowledge to care for complex IBD patients and prepare for an independent academic career in clinical investigation. Johns Hopkins Hospital provides an excellent setting for IBD training with world renowned pathologists, radiologists, surgeons and gastroenterologists. Collaboration with rheumatology, dermatology, nutrition, and psychiatry allow us to provide multidisciplinary care for the patients, improved understanding of the disease and the opportunity for wider research investigations. The breadth of clinical investigation is unparalleled with multiple basic scientists, translational researchers, and clinical researchers all available to serve as mentors based. With only one fellow accepted per year, the training can be personalized to the fellow’s interests.
The management of IBD patients will be taught through outpatient clinic, outpatient endoscopy and inpatient IBD rounds. The fellow will also receive didactics during the weekly IBD meeting including the landmark trials and guidelines within the field of IBD. Radiology scans for complex IBD patients will be reviewed with GI-trained radiologists to improve the fellow’s skills in reading X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. Pathology slides will be reviewed with expert GI pathologists to confirm and review the histology of IBD, dysplasia, and CMV. As a quaternary referral center, the fellow would be exposed to complex and refractory IBD cases and learn to manage IBD during pregnancy, IBD in post-transplant recipients, and IBD in the HIV population.
The fellow would be expected to attend the weekly IBD clinical meeting, grand rounds, and journal club. The fellow would be expected to present interesting clinical cases seen in clinic or endoscopy, present relevant journal club articles, and give a research presentation.
