Gastroenterology Faculty All our faculty members are academic gastroenterologists affiliated with Tufts University School of Medicine. Starting in 2016, faculty will be transitioning their primary academic appointments to the University of Massachusetts Medical School-Baystate and will retain their Tufts University School of Medicine affiliations as adjunct faculty. Their expertise spans the gamut of gastroenterology including, advanced endoscopy, transplant hepatology, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastrointestinal motility. Although they have wide-ranging clinical expertise and academic interests, what our faculty all have in common is their collegiality and a passion for teaching. You will receive superior training.
