David Elliott, M.D., Ph.D., Professor and Director

Since its foundation nearly 40 years ago, the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology has continuously distinguished itself as a highly ranked specialty within the Department of Internal Medicine. As part of the James A. Clifton Center for Digestive Diseases, it provides state of the art medical care to patients with gastrointestinal or liver diseases and nutritional problems in a multidisciplinary environment. The Center also plays an important role in the education of students, residents and fellows and offers a variety of learning opportunities for continuing medical education of physicians and other health care professionals.   The nationally and internationally recognized faculty conducts many clinical and basic science research projects to further our understanding of gastrointestinal and liver diseases and help design better treatment for patients with these illnesses.
