To justify board certification, it is required that the NIDDK component of the fellowship program be part of an accredited gastroenterology training program. Therefore, this component of the contract supports the association of the Fellowship Program with a center with an established GI training program. A major component of the gastroenterology fellowship training program involves their participation in provision of consultation services for patients with GI disorders followed in protocols sponsored by various other NIH departments. These consultations require the constant availability of state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic services.

After completing this first year of training, fellows will complete the subsequent 2 years of Gastroenterology training in the NIDDK intramural program at the Clinical Research Center on the campus in Bethesda, MD. The University of Maryland, School of Medicine agrees to: • Administer and provide an ACGME-accredited Gastroenterology Fellowship program. • Provide 2 new positions per year in the 3-year Gastroenterology Fellowship program for fellows in the Program (total of 6 Fellows in the Program by FY2014). • Treat fellows in the Program equally with the other University of Maryland Fellows in the first year of training. • Participate along with NIH staff in advertisement, interviewing and selection of the Gastroenterology Fellows entering into the Program (see below for composition of Steering Committee designed for this purpose). • Ensure that all Fellows accepted into the Program are graduates of an accredited medical school and that they have satisfactorily completed an internship approved by the Council on Medical Education. Residents must have completed at least 3 years of graduate medical training and be approved by the Medical Staff Affairs Office, Clinical Center, NIH. • Provide clinical opportunities and rotations in the first year of training as necessary to meet ACGME requirements for board certification in Gastroenterology.
