Gastroenterology & Hepatology

Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology
Interim Chief: Steven M. Cohn, MD, PhD

The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology is nationally recognized for excellence in clinical care and has made a perennial appearance on U.S. News and World Report’s list of top programs since 1998. In 2012-2013, the division was ranked as “high performing” in the U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Hospitals” guide.

The division fosters an interdisciplinary approach to patient care and offers integrated services for a complete range of digestive disorders. The latest equipment and procedures are utilized for highly technical diagnosis and treatment of complex gastrointestinal, hepatic, and pancreatobiliary disorders. Patients have access to novel therapies, such as fecal tissue transplant, and to experimental drugs through the division’s extensive clinical trials program.

The past year has been particularly productive, as the division continues to broaden its clinical services and seeks to expand its basic science program. The division remains deeply committed to its educational mission, with faculty who highly value their roles as teachers, mentors and preceptors.
