As a division internationally recognized for clinical, research and educational innovations, we provide our physicians with strong support and mentorship to ensure professional growth and enable them to provide world-class care. The division provides a full range of modern diagnostic techniques in-house as many clinical assays are run in our own laboratory. The division currently employs 12 clinical MD faculty and 5 clinical nurse practitioners, further supported by a large group of nurses, dieticians, social workers, psychologists, research coordinators, and business administrators. The division currently has 10 fellows in training and has successfully matched all fellowship positions for the last 22 years through an ACGME-approved NIH-funded fellowship program.
