Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology

The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) provides clinical, research, and educational services in all aspects of gastroenterology and hepatology medicine for patients located throughout South Carolina and the Southeastern United States. Our peers and our patients continue to rank the Department of Medicine programs among the best in the nation. In 2023, MUSC Health was once again recognized as high-performing in gastroenterology and GI surgery by U.S. News & World Report, meaning it ranks among the top 10 percent of hospitals in the nation for complex-care in that specialty.

Education

The MUSC Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellowship Program offers comprehensive training in digestive diseases, designed to produce competent, independent, board-certified subspecialists and clinical investigators after a three-year tenure. Upon completion of the training experiences, trainees will have the clinical, investigative and teaching skills necessary to take a leading role in academic and clinical gastroenterology.
