The Division of Gastroenterology is devoted to the quality care of patients, clinical research in disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, and the education of physicians in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients with gastrointestinal disorders. Our mission is to deliver outstanding, educated gastroenterology care to the community of South Florida and Latin America and to make scientific discoveries that will improve gastrointestinal health for all patients. The Division of Gastroenterology provides excellent patient care, conducts cutting-edge clinical research in disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, and educates physicians in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of patients with gastrointestinal disorders. The division’s nationally and internationally recognized faculty deliver clinical care at the University of Miami Hospital, the Sylvester Cancer Center, Jackson Memorial Hospital and the Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The University of Miami Division of Gastroenterology is also affiliated with Mount Sinai Medical Center. All of these settings provide a unique opportunity for performing clinical research and for training the next generation of gastroenterologists in our gastroenterology fellowship program. Faculty members in the division also have a wide range of special research interests, including inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal cancer, disorders of the pancreas, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy. The division conducts research in the immunology of the gastrointestinal tract and in ulcer disease, pancreatic diseases, and diverticulitis.
