Education

Education is at the heart of MUSC’s Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. We train 12 fellows annually in General Gastroenterology and Hepatology, with advanced programs in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Transplant Hepatology. Our dedicated faculty mentor future leaders, offering expertise in liver fibrosis, intestinal cell homeostasis, and the gut-brain-microbiota axis to prepare fellows for academic excellence.
