- Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases Program: nationally recognized program for the care of chronic, immune-meditated conditions.
- Additional programs: celiac disease and gluten-related disorders, interdisciplinary nutrition and feeding, and intestinal rehabilitation.
The Division's robust hepatology and transplant hepatology service works closely with the NYU Langone Transplant Institute to support the Pediatric Liver Disease and Transplant Program, a regional referral center for complex liver and gastrointestinal disorders.
The Division also offers a three-year ACGME-accredited fellowship (two fellows per year) and a one-year specialized IBD fellowship.
