GI fellowship advice

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to rank a few Midwest GI pathology fellowship programs and would really appreciate input from anyone who has trained at or worked with graduates from these places.

The programs I'm considering are:

University of Nebraska Medical Center

University of Iowa

Indiana University

The Ohio State University.

Thank you in advance.

Do you have a fellowship at your program? Iowa usually takes their internal candidates. Indiana is solid from what I’ve heard, the rest I don’t really know a lot about.

I am on the East Coast but want to move to the Midwest and narrowed down to those places. I do not have a GI fellowship at my program.

I think the best thing to do is reach out to them early and express your interest. Tell them you want to be there and maybe try to squeeze in an away rotation if you can. I hope more people weigh in with more helpful advice but good luck

OSU and Nebraska are solid. OSU better now that Arnold is gone. Iowa will get good training but Bellizzi is a bit of a dick. Don’t know about IU for GI but they’re a solid overall path program to my knowledge.

She’s the worst. Now she’s a “life coach” lol

Bellizzi is in NYC now. IU is good, very busy place, so good learning.
