What is the best thing about San Antonio?

  • Beautiful area (no snow!), family friendly and the food!

Why would you recommend the UTHSA GI fellowship?

  • Unmatched clinical training with an ideal emphasis on general gastroenterology, hepatology, and research. Supportive faculty and a place where fellows are genuinely happy. Opportunity to serve a diverse patient population in a busy multi-hospital system. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful environment.
