Five new trainees are selected each year. There are two principal criteria for selection: first, the potential of the applicant based on his or her academic record, letters of reference, and an interview at the University of Virginia. The second is an appropriate match between the interests and goals of the applicant and the opportunities offered by our faculty.
Applications are completed online through ERAS. Applicants are not eligible for interview unless the required ERAS documentation is provided. Interviews will be scheduled based upon review of completed applications and an internal ranking of competitive candidates. Candidates will be contacted by the program director for interview, once those dates have been determined. Typically interview days begin at 8 a.m. and are 4-5 hours in length, which allows the applicant to become fully acquainted with our GI faculty and fellowship staff. Applicants are "matched" to our program via the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).
The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology operates within the structure of the University of Virginia Digestive Health Center of Excellence. This Center of Excellence fosters an interdisciplinary approach to patient care and research in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. A special feature of our division is the depth of expertise in both basic and clinical areas as well as the commitment of our faculty to be mentors and preceptors for trainees. As a result, the spectrum of opportunities available is extremely broad, including collaboration with the basic science departments. U.S. News and World Report has repeatedly selected the University of Virginia's Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology as a top program in the nation since 1998. We are proud that our graduates are the academic and clinical leaders of the future, with one-third of our trainees choosing to pursue careers in academic medicine. Our graduates who choose community based practices have become community leaders involved with teaching, and many hold faculty appointments at medical schools.
