What do you like about living in Rochester? Stunning natural beauty and an unexpectedly dynamic food and cultural scene.

Why did you select URMC for your fellowship training? I chose URMC because it combines a high-volume, diverse GI/hepatobiliary pathology service with a supportive academic environment that readies fellows for independent practice.
