The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Advanced Fellowship Program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is a highly specialized one-year, post–gastroenterology training program designed to develop advanced expertise in the diagnosis and management of complex IBD conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Conducted at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, the program provides extensive exposure to a large and diverse patient population, including individuals with severe, refractory, and complicated disease presentations. The fellowship emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach, where fellows collaborate closely with experts in gastroenterology, colorectal surgery, radiology, pathology, nutrition, and immunology to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care. Fellows gain hands-on experience with advanced therapeutic strategies, including biologic and small-molecule therapies, therapeutic drug monitoring, and management of disease-related complications. In addition to clinical excellence, the program integrates robust research training, offering opportunities to participate in clinical trials, translational studies, and outcomes research through specialized centers such as the Meyerhoff Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center. Overall, the fellowship prepares physicians for leadership roles in academic medicine and advanced subspecialty practice in IBD by combining high-level clinical training with meaningful research experience.
