Division of Gastroenterology -- 2001-2002
|
Faculty Chief Number of Staff: 8 FTE |
The Gastroenterology Division provides comprehensive outpatient and inpatient services for patients with a full spectrum of gastrointestinal diseases at multiple clinical sites. The faculty conducts busy clinics and provides endoscopy services at three different hospitals in addition to outpatient endoscopy. The Creighton Esophageal Lab, a combined venture of the divisions of Gastroenterology and General Surgery, is internationally known for its work on swallowing disorders. The combined efforts of the divisions of Gastroenterology and Oncology in the screening for hereditary cancer have results in now famous publications. Resident Involvement: Residents will rotate through the gastroenterology service twice during their three years. At Creighton University Medical Center, residents are involved in both primary and consultative care of inpatients. At the Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center, residents provide inpatient consultative care and also become skilled in flexible sigmoidoscopy. Once they have finished this rotation, residents may bring their own clinic patients to the GI Lab at the Omaha Veterans Administration Medical Center or Creighton University Medical Center for outpatient sigmoidoscopy. |
