BSG Endorsed IBD Fellowships

The overall goal of an IBD fellowship is to allow a trainee the opportunity to gain expert sub-specialty clinical skills in IBD and to accelerate their career development by participating in the clinical operations of a leading IBD Centre. This page lists currently endorsed fellowships, and explains the criteria for getting an IBD fellowship endorsed and how to make an application.

The BSG endorses IBD fellowships to ensure that fellows achieve comprehensive advanced IBD training under senior educational supervision. Centres must have a formal training plan for advanced IBD for this one year program to ensure the fellow receives a comprehensive training program. We expect that this fellowship will usually be undertaken after CCT although training during the later stages of higher specialty training can be acceptable for candidates with equivalent experience.
