Elevate Your Care With Advanced Endoscopy Training
The Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship at AdventHealth’s Center for Interventional Endoscopy (CIE) in Tampa is a highly specialized, year-long post-gastroenterology fellowship program designed to train physicians in the latest diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic techniques.
As part of this program, fellows participate in multidisciplinary conferences, clinical case discussions and research activities that support scholarly growth and clinical proficiency. The training environment is grounded in real-world procedural volume and mentorship from fellowship-trained interventional endoscopists, preparing graduates for advanced clinical practice or academic careers in interventional GI procedures.
Fellows will be required to work one weekend of general GI call/month (12 weekends a year).

Training Curriculum
Our program provides a balanced mix of inpatient and outpatient procedures throughout the week, providing fellows with broad exposure to the full spectrum of advanced endoscopic care. Because our Center for Interventional Endoscopy is located within our AdventHealth Tampa hospital, fellows seamlessly transition between scheduled outpatient cases and complex inpatient consultations and procedures. This integrated setting prepares trainees to manage both elective and acute interventional endoscopy cases in a high-acuity hospital environment.
Our Advanced Endoscopy Fellowship program immerses fellows in advanced procedures, such as:
- Balloon-assisted enteroscopy
- Barrett’s endotherapy
- Cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy with EHL and laser lithotripsy
- EUS-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE)
