Gastroenterologist Gastroenterology Division Department of Medicine, Washington Hospital Center Washington, DC Announcing the availability of a staff position in the Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, at the Washington Hospital Center. Letters of inquiry or recommendations are invited. The MedStar Washington Hospital Center (WHC) is an 850-bed acute care academic medical center located in midtown Washington, D.C. Along with the MedStar Georgetown University Medical Center, the WHC is part of the MedStar Health System and is the largest not-for-profit hospital in D.C., serving as a major tertiary care hospital to the Washington metropolitan area and local community with a focus on subspecialty care, and maintains its own Research Institute. The Attending physician staff of the Department of Medicine includes 110 full time teaching faculty and 450 voluntary staff. The Gastroenterology Division enjoys clinical, research and education programs, including a fully accredited Gastroenterology Fellowship Program. Staff physicians manage hospitalized and ambulatory patients in an interdisciplinary setting, and take an active role in the implementation of clinical research protocols and practice guidelines. Currently, the Gastroenterology Center of Excellence at Washington Hospital Center is developing initiatives in Hepatology, advanced therapeutic endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound, a clinical research consortium, and our endoscopy unit is performing 10,000 procedures annually. We are now recruiting experienced subspecialists with expertise in Hepatology, inflammatory bowel diseases, and GI motility for further expanding the clinical and research centers of excellence within our Gastroenterology Division. The immediately adjacent Veterans Administration Hospital and National Children’s Medical Center provide opportunities for collaboration. The Gastroenterology Faculty provide clinical consultation, resident and fellow education, clinical research, and clinical trials. Significant collaborative and academic opportunities have developed with Georgetown University since the acquisition by MedStar Health of the Georgetown University Hospital; full time faculty at the WHC is eligible for academic faculty positions with the Georgetown University School of Medicine, equivalent to full time faculty at Georgetown Hospital.
