The Nutrition Support Team is organized through the GI Division. Consultation is offered throughout the hospital on patients who require nutritional supplementation orally, peripherally, or centrally. Education of house staff and faculty in the principles of nutrition is an important part of this service, as is consultation on patients in the medical ICU. GI Fellows see new consults, including patients requiring percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, and are full members of the rounding team.
There are very strong collaborative endeavors with other divisions in the Department of Medicine, particularly within Geographic Medicine. The University has an outstanding Department of Surgery with extensive clinical and research links. The General Clinical Research Center and The Bierne Carter Center For Immunology represent excellent sites for clinical and basic research. Interdepartmental research collaborations extending to the Departments of Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Biomedical Engineering are also numerous.
