Meet Our Fellowship Alumni

The UMass Chan GI Fellowship takes immense pride in preparing our graduates for independent practice. We have a 100% ABIM board exam pass rate. Our alumni are located across the country. Forty percent of the graduates from the last ten years are affiliated with an academic center and hold a teaching position. Others have joined various practices in an employed or private practice model. Many alumni are in leadership positions within their practices. Current fellows are able to interact with and learn from our alumni through evolving networking initiatives.
